halfords own stuff and 4 coats of primer 8 coats of paint and about 10 thin coats of laquer

Really looking forward to seeing them back on the car...

me to

nice one mate the wheels did need a referb to be fair looking good now though, how much has it cost you to do the wheel refurb then?

4 tins of black gloss paint 4 primer 3 tins of laquer loads of sand paper and wire brushes for the drill nitromorse x2 large tins so approx £50 but its a hard job its taken me and my mate 3.5 days to do working from 8am till 10pm most days

Blimey - hard work with the wheels. Weren't you tempted to do the entirety of each wheel though, with the tyres removed?

yes i did but the whole point of DIY is its cheaper to do so i was keeping costs down

the wheels look awesome dont forget the how to for the boost pipes please lol

Hello Si Vxr,

Many thanks for all your input, put me into do-the-wheels-paint mode. LOL

i will do a proper how to for you

I was considering doing this, but when I priced it up, 4 of each tins @ £5.99 each was £72 alone, before the prep gear etc. A mate recommended a local company quoting £140. Decided I really couldn't be bothered to spend the time doing it at that cost myself lol. What's the dark picture showing? DRL's?

Matt

yep drls

nearly done test driven it and OMG what a difference

Adaptors much help then?

Wheels look really good

I remember doing a DIY wheels refurb with some old pug wheels and OMG was the rubbing down a pain in the arse !

The painting was the fun part LOL

ye adapters made a massive difference much easyer with them just needed some fine adjustment i had a slight leak from the bottom pipe that was 1/4 inch to long so wasnt sat straght but ive sorted that now just need to finish the work on the bumper that i have decided to now do should be just about finished today i hope
