18" monza refurb
v2brett:
hi all, i had a spare wheel which was badly corroded due to being dropped which chipped the lacquer and caused this;
so then i masked the wheel, and carefully applied paint stripper
after cleaning and neutralising the wheel i then sanded it, starting with 800 wet and dry working up to 1500. after the 1500 i used autosol metal polish and this was the result,
hope this helps anyone planning on a wheel refurb. i have lacquered the wheel now and it looks excellent, i amazed myself with the results :driver:
182_blue:
Looks very good , does it match the others ?, or did you do the same to all 4
