Ok so finally got around to refurbing the alloys, have 3 almost finished, waiting on the laquer to dry.....So here are the pics of the most "damaged" one.....The before pics are after a thorough clean...The black marks on the inside of the wheel are metal filings from the disc when i drove the car for a short period when the pads were very low....They etched into the wheel and basically the reason for starting the thread...So a few before..





After sanding with my electric sander and few bits by hand



After 2 coats of etch primer and 2 coats of grey primer





And now for the tasty ones, after a few coats of mercedes brilliant silver and few coats of laquer







Turned out very well, glad with the results
