Wheel refurbing, again

[declantg]

   

Quick questions really.

Sanding all the paint off my wheels, but so I really need etch primer? Or can I just use normal? As no where sells it near me, unless I go halfrauds 10 miles away.
They are the vts alloys

The only thing worth doing with VTS wheels is:

Step 1: Poundland sand paper
Step 2: Poundland primer
Step 3: Poundland paint
Step 4: Poundland lacquer



Seriously though, it doesn't matter all that much, standard primer will be fine!

[declantg]

Haha FYC

Nice one, am bringing the paint completely down, making sure it's all smooth so hopefully won't be a problem

[silverzx]

The pic of the one wheel you've put up looks very well done.

[declantg]

Still got loads to take off on it

[silverzx]

The edges look like they need more work and the wheel itself looks like its showing signs of damage, it definitely isn't round anymore!

[declantg]

Not sure if trolling :/

Yeah I'm still doing the edges ATM, pita

[silverzx]

Not sure if trolling :/

Haha.

Seriously, they look like they've hit the kerb a few times!

Previous owner, I stay well clear of nasty kirbs!

[silverzx]

Can you imagine that: "I know, I aim for kerbs when driving - YOLO".

[declantg]

Well it was a woman!

You would have got away with it if you werent taking all the paint off!

[306Puggy]

Use etch primer! I used standard primer on my wheels and they are all f*cked up again! The paint comes off way too easily.

[Oil-burner]

See, its not worth skimping on them else you'll just have to do it again!
Normal primer can't adhere properly to bare metal

[Slam Wagon]

Whats the primer like under the paint thats on them? If thats alright then just take it back down to that, the i would just put a fresh coat of primer to be sure and then the new paint.
