My second set of wheels fitted with R888's were starting to look a bit ropey so I decided to see if I could refurb them myself.
Firstly I rubbed them down with wet & dry....
Then sprayed them with several coats of primer...
After letting that dry properly and rubbing them down with 1200 grit W&D, I sprayed them with gloss black paint...
Then lacquered them up after the paint had dried...
And here's the finished product on the car...
The finish isn't bad, but obviously a professional powder coat would look better. I'm going to see how they stand up to stone chips, etc. But even if they do need to be 'furbed professionally, I now know black wheels look fully sick on Imola Red!
