Began phase 1 of refinishing my wheels... Posted by turrbo [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() |
I'm doing two at a time, and I'll post before and after pics when I get to the second two...Didn't really have time to take pics for the first two today.
I cleaned the wheels thoroughly using Lemon Joy to get rid of wax and brake dust, then I wiped them down with tons of mineral spirits to clean them even more. I sanded them down with 220 grit and filled in the spots of curb rash with Bondo Spot Putty. Sanded that all down with 400 grit paper to make it all smooth, then sprayed them with primer. I'm using a German primer and scratch filler (Haft-Grund I think?), so right now I have two very white wheels!
The Wurth wheel paint I ordered from Eeuro was backordered, so the paint and clear coat will go on next weekend.
Thats all for now...I'll keep you posted!
