Just the chap ... if you've got time at CC on Sat could you take a gander at Huey's wheels and tell me why there are discoloured blotches on them? :sad:

Is it not possible to strip them, paint them in a metallic colour and laquer them (really don't know much about paints)?

get 'em galvanised! they'll look well nice then :sick:

Yeah chroming would work I guess, or real shiny paint. I guess you could strip them and polish the metal then laquer them like mad, but I dunno how well they'd last!
