Same as how we do them at work, but through my work its 60 a wheel, but on the side my mate does them for 25 a wheel, unless its fucked or a multispoke rim (harder to rub down with all the spokes)

Look nice mate, should have done them black though

Forgot to say they look good Phil!

I have a few marks on mine from crap tyre fitters but nothing really deep. Do you think it would be easy enough to do the sanding and filling myself then get a pro to spray them?
