Request: Dargs spraying guide

[Fuzzy Orange]

Dargs mate you remember on QPC you posted that guide to spraying your alloys

Could you write one up again mate? :D

I'm planning on getting some paint when I get paid and putting my steel wheels back on for a week and spraying my vts wheels black or anthracite :D

[Dargs]

yeah il try do it tonight for you mate, have all the pictures etc just need to write it up ;)

[Rallye James]

This could come in helpful for me too. If it's not too difficult I'm thinking of spraying the cyclones myself to keep the costs down :) Thanks

[N9KKC]

Hows this refurb guide going? ;D

How to you take deep kerb marks out off the edge of the rim?

[Dargs]

Still in the process of writing it, sorry for the delay peeps, i assure you it will be up very soon lol.

Afraid i cant really help you with that 1 Nikki, the way i got the curbing out of mine was to just sand it out,and then blend in the slope but it wasnt mega curbing so i got away with it.

I *think* most proffesional places weld it up or use filler.

[Dargs]

Coming tonight! (thu 18th) ;)

nice one mate.

nikki, if your going to spray they.. why dont you use filler in the deep kurbing marks?

[Dargs]
