Tonks Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I recently fitted some coilovers to the ol girl and thought it was about time I gave her some new shoes too but coming into xmas bit short on wheel funds so thought i'd give this a crack. The wheels that came with my 32 4 door were haggered and just looked plain shit so I thought i'd respray them while I save for some 33GTR wheels. Anyway threw on some paint stripper a few times which helped get all the old crap off. And started at 80grit wet/dry and worked up to 2000grit wet/dry with various increments working off gutter rash and small dents. Was going to bog a few larger rashes but the wheels are nothing special so thought eff it. While doing all this I hadn't really thought of a colour to go for the finish but while stripping it back there was a lot of white underneath and thought i'd give that a go seeing as all ive had is black wheels before. Gave the tyres a rough tape up job because getting new tyres in a fortnight anyway. So a few coats of etch primer and and a few of burn your eyes out white this is how they came out. Not a bad result for $80 of paint primer and emery paper. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/415895-homejob-rimjob/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
