Thread 'DIY Wheel refurb'

I thought I'd post this in case anyone else was thinking of tackling wheel refurbs themselves.

Over the years I'd touched up the odd nick/scuff using Titanium silver body paint.
I'd read that a lot of garages use it instead of Decor silver or Reflex silver as it was much cheaper and almost identical.
Correct.
However after a brush with a kerb last month I decided to bite the bullet and refurb all 4 wheels completely.
There was also some blistering on the inside.

In general I followed the process in the YouTube video below.

Preparation is key...

I used Titanium silver from Halfrauds on the 326s. Did all four so no slight mis-matching. Well pleased with the results.
