alright matey ive done a few myself including the deep dish you caught me doin! i used the ally filler for the kerb marks
halfords primer x4 cans
halfords paint x4 cans
halfords chip resistant lacqure x2
its a case of getting back to bare alloy or stripping off the lacqure
fill kerb marks then rub back making sure you go through the grades of wetndry or your end up with lines once youve done that degrease the rims and wash and dry,prime up once dry wet sand the primer and reprime and wet sand till mint, when dry start spraying them up building up slowly! and wet sand if needed i used all the paint up left for a day or 2 ready for laqure, 2 coats of clear job done lol make use its warm and dry when you do it might pay to grab an alloy off connel to practice? or you can always go to aj for£37 a pop or ask russ £50 for a mint job!!!! i can always give a hand! might pay to ask scott for some info he just done a set of ultralights that steve now owns and there mint!
