wheels tidy up

[ducky]

spent a day driving round the country hunting every breakers for different wheels for my C+C

gave up and sdecided to tidy up what i had. they'll get covered in dust anyway.

they turned out OK for LIDL rim paint rattle cans.

That's some serious curb rash.
They do paint up well look fresh.
Did you prime them first or just paint.

theyre just a tidy up.
the paint is a one coat rust & primer & paint. i used it on my tin trailer wheels 2 yrs ago and they still havent rusted through

Long as it stays on and looks good can't go wrong.
Mine looked great at first for a year but the corners or spokes it cracked in same spot as where I was covering they are different size tho.
They do still look great but the sun baked the rear on one side probably the cause.
I use upol primer and upol wheel silver.
My first try I used a cheap grey paint in small tins and that was probably a better finish then the upol to be honest.

What tool did you use to grinde the ali metal?

 

[ducky]

115mm flap discs on a 4½" grinder, 240grit. then just a little scuff over with a sheet of 400 by hand , all over.
