Hi Guys, 

 

Since I cant afford VRS wheels (unless someone has a sweet deal) I was thinking about refurbishing my steel wheels as the salty roads are causing a few specs of rust. I live in a city flat so my space is limited, I was thinking is it possible to do it with wheels still on the car and maybe apply hammerite or is it better doing it off car on a bench. Also any recommendations for hard wearing paint would be great 

 

 

Cheers Guys !!

This stuff pretty good......Used it on my Mk2 Golf steelies a while back (see picture)

Just mask the brakes off etc and slips playing cards into the tyre/outer edge of the wheel. Clean the wheels down with sugar soap and then scuff them with some scotchbrite pads to help with adhesion.

That link shows how to use playing cards for masking off etc.
