LiamGTR Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 As the title says, i am thinking of getting my wheels refurbed as the old owner wasn't exactly careful, but if it's cheaper ill just get them painted a darker colour to hide the curbs....? So how much have most of you paid? So Ican get a rough idea, and also how much isit to refurb my 16's? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykez69 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 give it ago yourself mate for what it costs to refurb if you hunt around you could probably pic up a decent set that don't need refurbing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchkev Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) ive seen companies advertise a refrub at £40 a corner, you could do it cheaper yourself Edited April 22, 2009 by dutchkev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamGTR Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 Well my and Aaron are going to tackle the quite bad scratches 1st, but i wouldn't know where to start with spraying wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykez69 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 sand down the alloys to remove scratches if scratches are too deep, then you need to fill them, so sand down to bare metal and get some p48 its really easy to be honest, once you have finished filling and sanding, just need to prime, spray, and lacquer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamGTR Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 Theere is quite a few teeth marks around the edges so filling the edges i imagine would be a right one.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykez69 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 nah, just does a thin layer, then sand down, then another thin layer etc untill its all even give it ago, if they need doing, you have nothing to lose really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
