DIY Refurb done
 

Fed up waiting for a price from a local guy. 10hours later and pzeros fitted, alinement checked. Discs also cleaned and treated to heat resistance silver. +++

Respect to that man!

I did something similar with my last car, but the lacquer started coming away again after a few weeks, it never really 'took' :(

I don't expect them to last as long as a professional job. I did rub down well, used a 80grit flap wheel to start with, followed on with 240, 400, 800, 1500 sanding wet & dry. Cleaned well with pre paint wipe, 2 coats of lacquer from a rattle can, flatten off with 2000, before polished and waxed. PS used a camping stove to heat rim softly prior to spray :ROFL:

Next time the wife is out...

Awesome work there! Looking fwd to the future updates...+++

Good job! Try some wheel wax or sealant to help preserve the finish.

Top work , 10 hrs well spent

Btw you can use the dish washer to clean them first , just be careful I did a set of Yamaha crankcases in it a few years ago , luckily wifey was away for a week took about 4 days to get rid of the smell and grit in it , not sure it's been right since , made a wonderful job though

I remember someone on another forum I used to frequent saying he loved it when his wife went away for the weekend, meant he could get the wheels done in the dishwasher..not sure the 20" ones would fit though+++

I did exactly the same with mine :D My house, my appliances, my rules +++
