Well I've given my wheels a simple home refurb and i think they look good... I used lots of wet and dry, an electric detail sander, hi build primer and normal car paint and some laquer for final shine and more protection...
original shabby rims after there first electric sanding...
with some really poor area's that needed extra time and care
after sanding them fairly smooth and removing all the kerb damage they got the first coat of primer
when dry i gave them another sand to remove the small imperfections and lots more primer
then I gave them lots of normal car paint giving them a smooth sanding after each coat until it was smooth... and to finish it they got several coats of laquer...giving the final results as below (and can you spot the scrapes shown in the first picture??)
the insides also got sanded and some paint and look nearly as good as the outsides.. and the paint is strong enough as my trye fitters arn't the most gentle people and there's no scratches/chips
See below for fitted pictures
