Title: Wheel reburb????
Post by: mjb on 13 October 2009, 20:51

Wheel refurbs???? How easy is it to do these to a decent standard?.......has anyone attempted this and if so where the heck do I start???/ help and pics required please?..... :laugh:

I have some Mk3 Annis of which need a refurb.....I intend to paint the spokes and polish the sides.

wrong section but hey  :grin:, is easy to do yourself youll need wet/dry of several grades primer,paint,laquer. polishing the lip will be harder though and takes alot of elbow grease unless you buy serveral grades of polishing mops and stuff

That ain't to bad then........I'd only make a hash of it anyway lol.......at least if i get them refurbed I can paint them afterwards or maybe just leave them how they are.....the plan is to pop them on next summer anyway. Cheers peeps  :smiley:
