Yeah I actually brought a black and decker mouse sander today got lods of 1/120 and 1/180 to test out
I was really surprised with the card trick, works really well.i stupidly brought the wrong primer yesterday.bloody crappy zinc primer, formed way to quick and obviously cracked but basically got it all sorted now found some halfords primer kicking around so that saved the day!
Ben they horrible to clean aswell

If your doing them yourself make sure you etch prime them otherwise you'll be wasting your time, team dynamics wheels are also arseholes if you want to make a mint job, as they are powdercoated it's really hard to take them back to a decent edge to then blend,
What colour?
