Slowly!
What do you think of the wheels?
Hopefully getting the welding sorted in the next month and then its off for a road-worthy to find out what else needs attention.... god help me.....
An expensive affair so far... but it'll be well worth it.
Next weekend Im giving her a deep deep polish. Not that that will remove the rust spots, but I think it will cheer her up a great deal!
Check the link in my signature for the story so far....

I rubbed them back to bare ally, to give the paint something to stick to.
On the 2nd wheel I did I tried some matt black before the gloss black as an experiment, seemed to come out with a much deeper shine. But as for undercoat, nope. Maybe I should have, but we will see how they go.

Chris, Pure elbow grease.
Started with P320, then 600, then finshed with some 1200 over the top.
Hard work, a whole day, early till late afternoon for each wheel.
Cheers!
