Right this has been annoying me for some time so decided to do something about it.[/img]

As you can see the rust has gotten out of hand. I hate getting my car looking good and then seeing this. The car is less than a year old and the stealer was less than sympathetic about it. All new cars rust, my arse!

So took wheel off and set to with a fine wire brush and some fine grade sand paper.[/img]

Good chance to give the alloys a decent wash

This worked really well. Next i painted it with hammerite metal silver paint. The colour match is really good with the monzas

All in all an easy job and really happy with the results

^^^Can't see any pics but I really wish I'd gone for the silver paint too. The satin black did not like to stick to the hubs or anything other than my hands!  :ashamed:

nicely done, my car's only a few moths old and they're rusting up  :fighting:
