Cool MY WHEEL REFURB

As some of you may know i had a subtle wheel colour for the trackday last week so i thought id show you the process

This was the original wheel colour


After a lot of sanding by hand i tried using a spray can with poor results


So then came time to sand that off and do it properly


So out came the ladders,made ideal wheel stands


I did nearly join the White Wheel Club This was the primer.



Then it was time to crack out the ORANGE

Then on with the spraying.




A couple of coats of lacquer and these were the results




And a couple of them on the car


I have to say a massive thanks to Claire (blueg14rep) and her Dad for doing most of the work:notwo rthy

Look great!

I really like the 2 tone orange/white look, you could have left them like that.
