Title: DIY Refurb...?
Post by: dub singh on November 13, 2011, 09:37:56 pm

Evening all.. wandering if anyone on here has attempted any DIY Refurbs on their alloys?

Ive acquired a set of Monza Reps (1 real and 3 reps) all with brilliant tyres for £95... only downside is they could all do with a refurb..

Would prefer to do the refurb myself but looking for advice how to go about it..?

Anyone here ever attempted it? Whats the best method to go about etc...


Cheers in advance..

I have put the paint coat down and lacquered one of the wheels before it ran out, unfortunately it reacted with the paint as I wasn't patient in between coats.  I have stopped for now, as I am going to change the colour to Audi daytona grey or Skoda vRS anthracite.  I will update the post as and when.  :happy2:
