help with refurbing wheels

IJY1984 · 24th December 2011, 20:00

Evening all,

Noticed today that the grid wheels on my zt are showing signs of corrosion and I can see bubbling underneith the top layer

With my messing I have managed to take a layer off to which the under part is pretty black.

My plan is to restore them once the weather picks up but for the time being id like to sort out this mess temporarily.

Anyone know an alloy wheel paint close to the colour on mg oem wheels, any pointers on how to tidy it up would be appreciated

Many thanks

hi the mgr colour is silver sparkle code mnh i think to get the black off use hydrocloric acid found in most toilet cleaners .but there is a place in your part of the world doing a good deal on refurbs at the moment.look on mamasboy posts i am sure he has sent his wheels there

Hiya...... I don't know if it is a case of you just wanting to refurb yourself, but, these are very local to you and lots have used them on here...

City powder coating is the ideal answer, only worry is they have the wheels for a few days and ive nothing to fit whilst there in.

At least at home they can be done individually and use my spare to prop the car up
