Wheel refurb

[baconsarney]

A previous owner of my P&J had the wheels resprayed in Graphite... I think they look a treat and suit the car well particularly with the red calipers...


Unfortunately there is now some 'bubbling' apparent, only small spots but it suggests corrosion under the powder coat so they're off for a strip back and refinish... I'm going with black shadow chrome, which I think will compliment the Meteorite and red calipers, plus new wheel centres as the newness has properly worn off the originals. I had thought of refurbing the old centre caps, but they're pretty rubbish so new ones to be purchased... previous thread on stuff below, been away a good while so hoping to complete bits (drivers side mirror stalk and wiper mechanism) this summer.. Also planning on going 4 bar grille in black and possibly a black roof only wrap, but not convinced with that one yet....

Anyone else had wheels finished in black shadow chrome?

Had my DB9 wheels which had previously been resprayed from and original diamond cut redone in shadow chrome

Was pretty pleased with the results.

Wheels look like they are still doing well
