DIY wheel refurb
Hi
I'm going to attempt a rim refurb and respect DIY style using spray cans.
Watched enough YouTube videos to have an idea, and am going to do a sand down, primer, paint and lacquer job.
Any recommendations on specific paints to use, or brands?

Wheels are in such a bad state that they require a re spray in any event, so would be painting standard silver and the plasti-dipping black...
Maybe that's not such a bad idea

Rattle can paint and lacquer will not be very durable at all (unless you can bake it but even then....) For a good coating of primer, paint and lacquer you'll probably end up paying well in excess of £50 (not to mention all the prep work and time involved!!) Why not add the extra £150'ish and get them powder coated? That'll last years unlike the paint which will last no time at all IMO

Yeah mine lifted, I did a DIY, having said that if you know you're not going to change your tyres for a couple of years, it will last that long at least. My wheels still look good but not perfect now the trye fitters have been at 'em

I did some on my old astra coupe T with rattle cans, then sold the car, still 3 years on they're looking well!
The key is good prep, wipe them down, and get a cheap strip heater while curing and they'll come out nice and glossy
Cost about £20 per wheel with all materials involved.
