Thank you Gene and sorry for the delay...

Sorry for the delay folks, here's Day2 and another set we've been working on in a different colour from an Evo9.

My car desperately needs a clean so when it next gets some love I'll get a load more decent pics....

So after the 2 stage priming was completed and baked we moved onto flatting the wheels to ensure the best possible overall finish:

1000 grade used:

Venom asked about this tool - some more pics for you, sorry for the delay...

After sanding was completed, the colour I selected was mixed up ready for application:

As flat as can be:

Here is the finish after the first layer of colour, no lacquer as yet:

2 layers of lacquer were applied, the second of which included some of this:

The flake pop in the Sun is incredible... pics will follow!

and finally, some afters...

I've not had a chance to clean them up properly yet or indeed wax them but when I do, I'll add further pics, but the finish is stunning. Here's the only pic of them clean on the car that I have but some tyre paste remains:

Also, alongside a number of other sets of wheels, I managed to get some pics of the process for these Evo9 wheels - the brief of which was to match the OEM finish as closely as possible:

This set was chemically stripped by a local company then work began at Spray Station by priming:

Again they were fully wet sanded to achieve the best possible finish:

Then wiped down with UPOL to prepare the surface for painting:

Bright metallic silver was used on these to match the original colour:

I'll add further write ups as we do interesting wheels and colours. Gloss black next...

Thanks for reading,
