My wheel refinishing thread

[trackjunkie21]

Because it is easier to tape off the lips when I paint than it would be to try to sand precisely on the line between the center and lip.



Thanks! They're probably going to stay gold if I can find the right shade. No one has Wurth gold!!

ebay does.

[acolella76]

ebay does not. The best I've seen on ebay is overpriced that is matched to the original color. $60 for two cans of spray paint... no thanks.

[steel330i]

color match to your body color? just a thought...might surprise you...

We found a pretty nice shade of gold on my RS's, it's actually a factory Daewoo color.



I could prob get you something mixed, maybe even sprayed for cheap if you do all the prep

Have you tried calling Wurth?

Looking pretty OK so far. Do you have plans to mirror polish that lip or are you going to leave it like that?

[acolella76]

i have not tried calling them yet. I'll do that tomorrow..

Once I can find some 2000 grit sand paper, yes I'll polish to a mirror finish. Lately all the auto parts stores have been out of the grits i need. Right now they actually have a bit of a mirror polish to them:

it's actually 'Sunburst Gold' which I think is a mustang color. Not a 100% match to BBS gold, but it is EXACTLY the color I was going for.

I missed the brand. I may have to refinish a wheel from a set I just scored. Duplicolor seems good. Did you use this brand?

yop, is duplicolor. Its good paint, just hate the tip. Clogs easily, and sprays in a straight line like a fan.
