flatback90 Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 i've just been given a set of chrome modulars with a nice offset on them and not being a fan of bling i was a wondering how to repaint them? i presume just a sand blast, primer then paint. so what say you the masses??

Les Henson Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I would say grit blast (fine oxide or pearl beads). The finish is like fine sandpaper and paint sticks to it extremely well (rather like painting fine sandpaper). Maybe etch prime would do much the same thing and therefore avoid the cost of the grit blast. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike4444244 Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 If it turns out to be expensive to blast them then maybe theres someone on ebay with poor taste who might fancy some extra bling wheels? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Henson Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Well I would, but then I would get yours grit-blasted and then spray them satin black. You, of course, would get flamed by the purists for putting split rims on the wrong type of vehicle Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatback90 Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 just done the whole 90 satin black think satin wheels would be too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
