Started refubing my alloys today want them another colour Black with a red edge bit..

I started by cleaning them get all the muck off...Shiney !



Paint stripper.... Used a scraper but its soo hard doing it that way lol so i got the wire wool out and started with that found out its actully pretty good...

got the rest stripped well most that i could next job is to go halfruads and get some primer

[frankiebateman]

Got 2 alloys done today primered then 2 coats over with gloss black .
The first one got lots of little bits on it so ill have to wait till fully dry ( tommorow ) then wet and dry and spray with another coat but the other one came out nicley decided just so give the alloy a little sand down instad of stripping it all easyer anyways heres the pics..

Will probably do the other 2 next weekend along with the red bit along the edge .

Alloy 1:




See the bits ^^

Random pic, im impresed with it shall i spray the red line on or get a tub of tuch up paint and do it that way ?

[tomkidd]

I think you are probably best buying some pin stripe vinyl frankie, like what they use on motorbike wheels. To get the red line by spraying on painting would be extremely hard to get it perfect.
This kind of thing

is it easy to apply ? if not do you think you could do it for me for money ?

[frankiebateman]

[tomkidd]

Sorry bud, never used it before. I think its only like putting a sticker on, you should be able to do that yourself mate

[frankiebateman]
