Refurbing alloys & putting a red lip ?
 

Hey guys n gals,

Refurbed my black 106 raptors a month or two ago, and i cut corners. I'm going to them to a bodyshop and ask them to smooth off the Pug badge. How much do you think this will charge?
After they've done this, i want to do it my self properly and was wondering can i use this..

to put a red lip around my wheels?

thanks alot.

yes that would be ok,y not try painting it on with a brush carefully

Because if i screw up with a brush ive f*ked the whole wheel up. If i use a sticker, i can peel it off :y: Im crap when it comes to DIY.

Anyone used this tape before? Hard to use?

Anyone know how much id be looking at to get it refurbed?

do the raptors have a solid lip to come off? like 1.2's and other wheels there is a nice flat square area to do it on?

Nah they dont mate. Dont think there is a lip for it really.

I've done my vtr alloys, check progress thread. I used motocycle tape in a roll, and not precut lengths!

then laqured over it :y:

The raptors dont have a raised lip so spraying them will be a nightmare as you will have to mask off a perfect circle on all 4 wheels if you have a wheel with a lip its easy

Some of my old work

Looking good there Jason. Really like them first ones. Have any idea how much a bodyshop would charge, to sand the Pug badge off?

Tbh not sure I would charge £50 for all 4 to remove and smooth the badges
