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.

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  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?

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?
