Damaged alloys

[Furio_Rob]

k im having a lot of problems with these cos of the state they're in
is reparing and cleaning these a DIY job or would i need to hand them over to profesionals?
They're not as deep as i thought, but there are hundreads of little scrates on, and they're quite dirty
thanks

Mate, there gunna have to be paint stripped then sanded down, theres no other way around it

[Furio_Rob]

i have been working on mine from 8 this morning in the rain, i have been sanding them down all this time and they have really come up well, getting them powder caoted in the week sometime to really make them look good

there are wheel repair kits on ebay but tbh i think it would work out easier for you to get them done professionally

yea the fucker on ebay said, and i quote, 'FEW curb marks, apart from that almost prefect condition'
how can you physically manage to damage them that much?
its unbelivable tbh

yea i think im gonna send them to Jason in derby to get them done
its costly but from the pics he has he does a nice job
thinking of getting them sprayed too, not sure if i want them black, silver or white
dunno how each one would look

[Predator_R32p]

anthracite mate will look the best

rover charcoal grey like whats on my centre console

[Furio_Rob]

eh?
are they two seperate colours or what.....
i defiantely think a dark colour will be best, make it stand out

im just in the process of spraying my wheels they have been a rite bas***d, i had to strip them all down and then fill any marks, the best stuff to use on alloys is liquid metal its brilliant stuff.
