i had ago at refurbing my old allesio 2's on me old nova. i used metal filler and it worked a treat. not the easiest to sand down again tho afterwards.
seeing then work that you've been doing really makes me want to get out there and give spraying ago.

I have picked up a set of alloys tonight that need a slight re-furb, its always puzzled me that if you use filler on the edge of the rim wont it crack and break off when the tyres are fitted, is it best to get them powder coated?

i dont understand y will the filler pop out when the tire is going on??????
do they put alot of pressure on the rim for some reason??? otherwise y will filler crack or anything?? there will be less movement in the rim than in a bumper for the filler wont crack!!! will c when the lad get tires put on!!! saturday think tires are goin on, its a blue car! will get pics when they are on, till then just taken these pics in the light
did these for £100, will be more for the next lot of wheels i do but the lad is local and it was fun to experiment on the rims so was good tester!!!! wud cost fortune to have them done like this professionally!!!!
really like them out in the normal light look more suttle but the pearl effect is pretty extreme when u look close!!!
