I'm in the process of refurbing my BBS's

Cost me £4.99 for sandpaper (Project pack from Halfrauds)
£5.99 for primer
£5.99 for lacquer
£6.79 for paint

And have ordered some carbon centre badges for £10

= £33.76

I used etch primer because I'd gone back to bare metal in some places but most primers will do the job

I bought specific silver alloy wheel paint from Halfords. They do it in white and gunmetal.

Any lacquer will be fine

I'd like to spray mine white but not sure how it would look. I think black is more discreet.
