Dan *Arosa* Fisher Posted July 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 new update i have bought some new shoes they need a good clean and a refurb but quite nice for 40 quidthey are BBS Reps i believe...im wondering how can i take that weight off and how much will it cost for a re balance with stick on weightscheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEP51 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 nice wheels, quite high profile tyres. U can probably get them all balanced up again for about a fiver a wheel... or less depending if u know someone well at a garage. How are u refurbing them?

BEP51 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) This is the best place to get alloy spray paints on a budget, two sets of this in your chosen colour should be enough to do the wheels.I would advise sticking with a silver as if u go for another colour, you will need twice as much paint as u have to do the inside of the rim too.

Dan *Arosa* Fisher Posted July 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 im thinking black or red what you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEP51 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 I'm thinking silver, cos it looks the smartest and u need the least paint. If u just pop two on one side of your car as a test I can shop colours for u. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan *Arosa* Fisher Posted July 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 right sorry havent had time to get that wheel put against it as have bin in for an opperation lol im looking at that website im looking for the best silver on there so i can mirror polish them what colour do you recon? Hi - Sparkle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEP51 Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 (edited) you dont mirror polish paint? u mirror polish bare metal, which would mean stripping off all the existing paint and either sending them to a polisher, or spending hours doing it yourself. Just a bright metallic silver would be perfect i think. The wheels dont need too much attention till the car is lowered.And anyway, those wheels would take forever to mirror polish due to all the little crevices.Hope you are ok after op!

Dan *Arosa* Fisher Posted July 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 i saw this guy mirror polishing his painted wheels with a drill attached polishing cone lol thats a shame im trying to work out how to get the sandpaper into them little crevices not so easy lol but one wheel is almost ready for priming just need to find a cheap enough kit when i get paid hoping that the kit u stated dont go up in price haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEP51 Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 if u muy the spray paints i showed u, it comes with a scotchbrite pad which is an abrasive version of a washing up sponge, u use that to get into the crevices. You dont have to sand through the paint, just give it all a good going over then primer it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan *Arosa* Fisher Posted July 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 im going to buy the high sparkle my mate said this may even work recon it will? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEP51 Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 probably wont last long, but if u can get it nice and smooth, a few coats of laquer might help preserve it. u would probs ending up spending more this way, the set i posted is probs best, just choose the lightest silver.

Dan *Arosa* Fisher Posted July 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 im going to buy the set u recommended and also a can of that other paint and see how it turns out on one worst case is i sand it down and re primer lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEP51 Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 I think that "silver dollar silver" would look pretty good, two sets/kits should be enough if you are sparing, "star silver" also sounds good. careful not to run out of primer if u try the other paint first, cos u will have to wait while more is on order. I think it will be very difficult to get a good finish with chrome paint. I dont think the sparkle paint would look so good, i think that sparkle and shine are two completely different things and i think you need shine so as not to overcomplicate all the spokes.

Dan *Arosa* Fisher Posted July 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 lol ok then buddy that chrome needs black primer i think i have some in the shed allready i also have the same paint in gold chrome lol maybe the centre caps will go gold hahaha ideas ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ministig Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 I used that paint on my mini wheels, lasted all of 5 minutes and if you laquer it, you may as well just buy silver as it goes dull! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan *Arosa* Fisher Posted July 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 ok then il forget about doing the chrome paint thanks for that just needed proof to rest my curious mind haha order will be placed near the 28th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEP51 Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Silver would look better anyway, sparkly wheels and huge tyres and high ride height is full of fail... Silver is subtle and sophisticated! And will tide by nicely till coilovers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan *Arosa* Fisher Posted July 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 hope so looking to spend 170 quid on some coilovers that will fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
