ECK Posted February 13, 2007 Author Share Posted February 13, 2007 can some body post some instructions up for refurbing my alloys please. i want to do them my self but dont know how to do it this is going to be long!!!! lol anyway first of all i took the wheel to the local tyre shop and had them break the bead on the wheel for me so i could completely strip the wheel. then i took all the rim bolts out then i took the wheel apart it should look like this then i took the centre and started to strip the old paint off i used nitro morse paint stripper for the job apply a coat and leave it for a bit then i done it again and again untill all the paint was off the wheel then i gave the wheel a final clean up with the drill and sandpapper buff then a quick clean with meths but thinners is better for the job pause for breath!! then i took the wheel and heated it in the oven as it was bloody cold and paint dont dry in the cold!! cont'd...
