Thank you
Whilst I’m waiting to buy the parts to fix the suspension issues, I already had the kit to refurbish the alloy wheels.
The last time I did the wheels they looked great, but eventually they became a lot more matt than gloss for some reason. Not sure if it was the lacquer I used or the technique.
This time I’ve coated the lacquer on seriously thick. The result is a wheel that’s not perfect by any means (with orange peel and the odd lacquer defect here and there due to thick build up), but it’s a lot more glossy.
I could get them professionally done but, to be honest, this is good enough for me.
I tell you what though, I used black primer before putting the coat on. When the primer dried, the wheel was satin black…
…and it did look quite nice.
