refresh alloys
 

Gave my alloys a refresh today i decided to go from tired flakey black to a nice gun metal grey
its a d.i.y job but really pleased with the results :)

Very nice! Looks much better.

Thanks mate! calipers are next :) im thinking red!

much better, are they as nice close-up?

I think so :-)

Much better, really must finish the set for the Forester bit it's too damp/cold!

Thank you ! Yeah did them in a heated workshop i wanted to do calipers too but as you say its too damp n cold

Impressive

Thanks mate not bad from a can eh :)

good stuff matey nice job!! dont put polish on too early or the lacker will smear! bring a few cans of paint over to mine tomorrow and you can do mine!!

Cheers bud! we can set about yours one day if they need it :)

lol hopfully get some 18" soon and keep current ones for winter!

They look much better now, good job :ok:

cheers mate :)

look smart matey! how was the finnish? i used gold smoothie but finnish was crap! was left with brush marks altho this was probably to do with it being 0 degrees! did you use thinners?

Finished quite nicely matey i just used a tin of halfords caliper paint straight out the tin as it is! i used GUNK degreaser on them first to clean em up !

il have to have a butchers! twice ive been let down by the same paint but everyone esle gets on with it no prob! do they sell gold?

Im not too sure mate but most likely!

Looking nice....

Last time I did Calipers it was on my old Golf, I used the Foliatec kit, no issues at all.

When i did mine, they wern't on the car, so i slowly sprayed them over a week with red smooth hammerite. Then CJ very kindly fitted them.

i think spraying them is the key! il have another bash with a brush but if that dont work the cans will come out!
