My wheel refurb....comments welcome

[let_nova]

well after i picked up a set of grey speedlined off gordon livesy (cheers gordon) the refurb had to be done as the colour did not go with my car.
so i got the wheels like this:



then i began sanding them down and filling and blemishes.:


then they were primed, wet & dried and primed again:




wet & dried again then on went the appliance gloss white (3 coats):




i then done the same with another and left to dry for a couple of hours:


and then the laquer:
