ALLOY WHEELS REFURB - RESPRAY ADVICE


Recommended Posts

  I have some 17 inch alloys i need to refurb and put on my 1.8 2004 Compact.

Does anyone have any reccomendations regarding what filler, primer and spray would be a good brand to use.

Ive got some 800 and 80 wet-and-dry paper to rub them down with, and also a small detail sander and a little dremmel tool thing if i need it.

Any other tips or hints welcome.

Hi Andy

I'm pretty sure Halfords sell some paint specified for alloy wheels which I assume would  be thicker than standard paint to protect from stone chips, etc but not entirely sure the best stuff to use. Tend to drop them into refurbishers in the past as they over bake them to get the correct finish.

Good luck with finding the paint and do let us know if you do find anything worth using

Cheers  Trevor
