dollyboy Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 professional places will charge you in the order of £20-£40 per wheel, the guy I used is in Nuneaton, but his polisher chap had a bad back and is out of action for a while. there are a few ads in autotrader, or buy a polishing kit from a specialist for around the cost of having 1 wheel done, whack the bits on your drill and have a go yourself, more satisfying this way I reckon ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trifire Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 Thanks for all the help. My main concern is that one of my wheels is not providing a seal and I am forever inflating the tyre. What I need is somewhere were they can shot blast the inside of the rim as well as having a nice finish on the outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollyboy Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 dont need blasting to cure that m8, get the tyre off, wire brush on drill, get all the flakey bits n white powdery crap off, repaint inside of rim with couple of good coats of hammerite. chassis paint is better if you have any but hammerite will last for a few yrs before it needs re-doing;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Mart Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 ooh! that reminds me Kev, I must get a few tins of Hammerite in for project orange. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollyboy Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 ;D ;D ;Di dont think theres much wrong with the stuff if you use it in places that arent constantly exposed to the elements and potential stone chips. I painted the inside of my sills for orange with hammerite even though they're zintec ones.also think it'd be worth doing the inside of the front panel.shame they dont do orange hammerite...;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
