I decided to refurbish my alloys to pearlescent white and do it properly by sandblasting the alloys. However, once I got the paint no one could bloody do it. So i went through the loooooong process of Nitromors (which was rubbish). So I got a sandblasting gun with glass beads (so it didn't touch the aluminium) and put the alloys in a container haha! It did the job. Then sprayed them, 3 stage job - took about 9 coats and they haven't even dried yet!!!

No tyre fitter would touch them because the machine would rip the paint off, so we used a fork lift to put weight on the tyre and the alloy would go in easily. Worked out well - check the pictures. Also did the calipers in the mean time :)
