Title: 12 spoke alloy wheel refurb
Post by nagrom04 on Jun 2^nd, 2012, 8:33pm

Hi guys,
Hoping to give my alloys a little tlc and sort out a few scuffs. Just wondering if anybody can recommend a kit or whatever that will do a good job. Been in my local Halfords but nothing on sale, are these kits on eBay any good?

thanks in advance

when ive done wheels in the past ive stripped the paint off with acid paint remover or the likes then any deep kerb marks ive filled with a hard drying filler

normally spray ford alloys in moondust silver, its the closest to the stock colour and dead easy to paint with.

Thanks for that Matt, especially the colour moondust silver. Was wondering what colour to go for after the repairs..
The wheels are in pretty good nick, just need to treat a few dings and scrapes here and there..
