Had the car three weeks or so now and finally I've got round to tidying up the wheels.

Started off like this:





Damned good clean and rub down, then on goes the paint:



Tidied up the brake calipers too and remounted the wheels:





Couple of silver prodrive stickers added and I'm chuffed to bits

 

Very nice mate. Looking a lot better

 

Great effort and big thumb up for you.

 

Had some paint left over and the bonnet scoop was looking shabby so:







Guess I'll need to do the two rear spoilers to match now

What do you think guys?

 

You've done a superb job there mate well done

 

Thanks fellas, I've had a really good day doing this

 

Wheels look loads better.......

 

The very nice postie brought me these too!



Hardrace droplinks from Apex

 

what type of paint you use, any lacquer on top or just paint. Got a silver classic and the black wheels are really growing on me. Got the standard 5 spoke, pretty shabby just now, wondering how they would look black

 

That cleaned up those scabby looking wheels really nicely Don't forget to do the roof the same colour

 

The wheels were really expensive to do........

Peugeot Graphite Grey paint - 4 small cans = £12 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Peugeot-Graphi...item45ef0f544a
Halfords filler primer - 1 can = £6
Halfords Lacquer - 1 can = £6
Stickers - 4 prodrive = £3
Sanding bits n bobs = say £3

Blimey how can I tell the wife I've blown another £30 on the car

 

looks good mate . you should of taken the weights off first though and got some stuck on the inside of the wheel . any tyre shop would re balance them for around £20 with stick ons

 

LOl, funnily Paul my son said the same thing!

He wants his roof wrapped on his Mitsi CZT...........

Yep, that would have been a very good idea

 

Looking good Chris.

Did you spray the discs too?

 

Maybe just a little overspray

 

looks tidy

 

cracking job, well done!

 

Really good job, always worry about doing thing's like this myself but after seeing your results maybe I should take the plunge.

 

Thanks J4ck5on,

I have tidied up alloys on a few of my cars, it seems that everything is in the preparation - which is tough if you are as impatient as me

The smoother the surface the better the finish so just take your time

One thing I did buy from eBay was some tack rags, they are like a sticky fabric excellent for that final wipe over to remove all dust etc before the paint went on - they were cheap too!
