Yes he did that on a quick "passing by" no-charge visit yesterday and will come back to do the full job once I've cleaned up the wheels. I guess I wasn't totally clear in my explanation.
I gave him a tenner (which he didn't want) as he stripped 5 wheels and is disposing of 5 tyres (and making an extra trip here) whereas he'll only be fitting 4 when he comes back. Only based 3 miles away so I'm a convenient "fill in" job as I work from home so am usually here.
I'm going to clean up all 5 and decide on the best 4 when they're finished.
Scraped off the bubbly lacquer, did a bit of metal bashing on a small dent in one rim, filed down and polished out some kerbing scrapes and applied primer where required today.
Rub down and paint tomorrow if the weather is good and lacquer the next day or Friday.
I've finished the centre caps today and the colour match is very good. Moondust Silver has a slight sparkle in the sun, not sure what is in it to do that but it's effective.
I've taken a "before" picture from the side and will post it and the "after" in a week or two when the job's all done.
