Default My 18" wheel resto

As i mentioned on a couple of other threads that i had bought a set of 18's and was going to give them a make over......well here it is

The wheels are 7.5 x 18 Inovit

This is how they started which is not bad, one has a slight curb ding but other than that they are good



Next step was to take them up to my local blaster/painter who removed the tyres.

The next step was to Acid dip them to strip them back



Once that stage is done, they then went to be bead blasted to completly clean then



Once that was done, they were primed and given a good couple of coats of paint and lacquered which really brought out the Colour.

We have gone for a "close as we can as the Calipers" sort of colour which has worked out well.



Out in the daylight they really sparkle and set the car off



Regards
Ian

My mate thought so too but HE hasn't got to live with them in Black

Black is nice but just shows up every spec of dust and lets the whole deal down. Sorry just my views plus i like the whole gold on blue thing
