DIY alloy refurb
MY97 UK turbo, Dark Blue, with 17" Gold wheels. Thinking of spraying them black as i reckon it will look quite "stealth". Anyone had a go at this themselves? I was wondering if u would only have to sand off the top coat of paint, providing the wheels are in good enough condition(I.e not kerbed)
I reckon a proffesional job might be a little steep £££££££
Appreciate any reply.

i tend to do mine, but then i have access to a bead blaster, spraying is the easy part mate. so long as you take your time, lots of thin even coats [i do 4] then some coats of laquer, if you have small curb marks, get some nu-metal, halfords sell it. deep ones i machine out, take your time, thats the key
