Refurbing 2 tone BBS RA's in East Mids - Recomendations

Post

Back to the top
Can anyone recommend a place in East Midlands that can reburb my Sportline 2 tone RA's?
They have no real damage, just need a re-paint of the black centres with silver outer lips, or polished outer lips.

Have you thought of doing them yourself?  I did my all silver ones with some spray paint from halfords, took me a week of evenings to do it, but they were pretty bad.

No good of course if you want a polished rim.

I don't think I could adequately mask a hard edge for the transition from silver to black.

Yours look well done. Did you strip the old paint, if so how?

cheers

I sanded the old paint used a Dremel for most of it. The silver is Ford stardust silver is a pretty identical match to original the silver for anyone reading this with non sportline wheels. Good quality masking tape would be they key, you can I think get some very thin tape for the immediate join between the two colours like you see people doing custom paint jobs.
