I'm going to attempt to spray my wheels tomorrow,
They have slight kurbing around the edge nothing to bad..

What's the beast stuff to use to repair them?

Iv seen alloy wheel repair kits but I'm told p38 will do the job?

Il take some pics tomorrow to see how I get on... There going to be lumo orange so I'm prepared to get some stick ;) lol

just remember alloy is soft so some of the light marks n scuffs will sand out

you can use filler to tidy up the rest of the rim :)

just take your time doing them :thumb:

orange is kool i got my speedlines vw brilliant orange :)

liquid metal is good or a good 2pak body filler if your struggling used both and never had any problems with bead popping it off
