| Post subject: | Paint Shop |
Off to my favorite paint shop at lunch today. Going to pick up 1L of Crystal White for my bonnet ( :evil: ) and 500ml of Silver Birch for my wheels. Pops is ready for rego (didn't have to do much anyway), but I want him to be looking sharp for when he gets his club plates  I have this mad lookout spot near my home, where I am going to take a few happy snaps of him, once he has his new wheel paint on. Should look great! I might do some black and whites too.....

What do you know about cleaning up a set of contessa mags? 3/4 of mine are a disgusting road grime colour. I tried pressure washing them but it seemed to be chipping of the chrome. I have also got a bit of purple overspray on them, might just paint them. |

hmmmm.......I am a bit of a perectionist...so I would strip the paint, get a pro to polish the outer edge, then repaint. Only way to get a quality finish...IMHO If the overspray is on your polished rim, try paint thinner or acetone to remove it. |
