its easy,

get alloy, sand down so its nice n smooth, unles there new alloys and still have the coating then you wont have a prob,


spray grey undercoat from halfrauds over the alloy,

spray colour,

spray colour again when 1st layer is dry

spray laquer

leave to dry,

i suggest you make the tire up like i did on one of the above pics.

could probably use chemical metal to fill and scratches as long as they aren't too deep

i was going to filler the few scratches up that i have, wouldn't expect them to need anything else.

does anyone know how much it costs to just get a set of alloys refurbed? I havent ever had the need to find out, but the wheels on my golf are a bit tatty and I wouldn't mind making them look new again :s
