bought them in very good condition.
Originally they were silver
but wanted a contrast with the white, so sprayed them black
changing my MR2 to green turbo, i didn't feel the black cut it anymore
tried gold
tried bronze
and then an anthracite colour,but closest i got was steel grey
still wasn't happy,here with black and bronze
With the influence of chicane and a couple other Emerald Pearl MR2's i have seen i have decided a bright silver is the way forward, so started to refurb the wheels
2 before/after
I am going to polish the spokes, but obviously i can't leave the metal bare
my problem is i don't know how i'm going to tape off the polished lip to either laquer or paint the spokes (i can easily tape off the spoke,but not the other way round),
as its line is on an edge going down into a dip and masking tape i have just seems to lift off
I was thinking of really thin masking tape to try and tape it off.
Can i leave the lip uncoated and just keep metal polishing it? which i was thinking of doing
or shall i just polish the whole wheel and just laquer the whole wheel??
help/ advice and comments all welcome
thanks,
Tom
