Great link, thanks, my new (to me) winter wheels should be here this week so I'll be able to touch up my Techarts over the winter.

One tip, when you find a web page you like it's a good idea to do a File/Save As and save it in "Web Archive" or MHT form. This creates a single file containing the web page and all the graphics, very handy for archiving things that might disappear when you link to them.

Thanks,

Chris.

p.s.
you can get a sand paper kit at Strauss or Pepboys in the autobody section. In addition to the bondo in a tube, I used the Duplicolor 'bondo in a spray can' filler with good result. The Wurth Silver paint is available at most detailing web sites.
This is a very time intensive project by the way. Each coating of whatever you use needs time to dry. I think tackling more than one wheel at once would be a good idea. You can work on one wheel while the other dries. And wear surgical gloves, beleive me.

Just a thought.... Take your wheel off the vehicle before you "mask" the entire car.
You can keep the car in the garage and work on the wheel in the driveway alot cleaner and easier!
