ianevanz Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Hi. Decided to redo my ST rims. I had them sprayed white before but after a year on the Irish streets they had gotten a bit scratched and curbed so I decided to refurb them myself Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianevanz Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 So here's some pics of the job at different stages Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyDee Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Wheels are looking good buddy , What kind of silver paint did you use and how long did it take you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianevanz Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 Silver spray paint was Simoniz silver (4 cans). And finished them with 2 cans Simoniz clear lacquer. I took a week to sand down all rough edges and scratches. (80,120,400,800 grit paper) Didn't use any fillers. I Usually did an hour sanding every evening after work. Painted them on the weekend. Prep work is key!! The finish you get depends on the level of prep done. I post another pic when I have a chance to put them on the car. Hope it helps Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianevanz Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 An electric orbital sander would speed things up big time. I didn't have one. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyDee Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 An electric orbital sander would speed things up big time. I didn't have one. Ian I did refurb one of my alloys the other week using a orbital sander and primer filler, although got new st alloys and like that colour of silver you used so might do all my alloys that colour aswell.
