Yeomans22 Posted April 9, 2008 Report Posted April 9, 2008 Hi i just got these delivered today. ive already started striping the paint off the one at the top, i've already got 4 on the car and im going to make one mint set of 5. Im going to remove all the paint etc, could i just then lacquer the bare metal so it wont rust, or do i need to prime and then paint and then lacquer. any help would be great. Paul.
razersedge Posted April 9, 2008 Report Posted April 9, 2008 i had mine done by a proper refurb company, straghtened them, striped them, stove enamaled them, fitted the new tyres all for £160 and only took 3 days
Yeomans22 Posted April 9, 2008 Author Report Posted April 9, 2008 did it have a good finish antz? i did my other with ford moondust silver, i think ill use that again. should i get the tyres fitted before i paint them as i dont want them getting scratched?
antz Posted April 9, 2008 Report Posted April 9, 2008 its not a bad finish but i wanted it to be cheap so then i could repaint them when they get scratched again without breaking the bank plus all i could afford at the time was rattle cans

Yeomans22 Posted April 9, 2008 Author Report Posted April 9, 2008 ok cheers, ill get the stripped back and the zinc primer, paint silver and then lacquer them up,

Yeomans22 Posted April 25, 2008 Author Report Posted April 25, 2008 Not done anymore, but yours look mint, how did u get them like that? how did u do the centre caps?
steve mk2 Posted April 26, 2008 Report Posted April 26, 2008 how they getting on??? ive just finished mine those caps look like they could fall off real easy , are they ok? im not sure you have to hamer em on with a malet so i dont think they come off too easily lol
steve mk2 Posted April 26, 2008 Report Posted April 26, 2008 Not done anymore, but yours look mint, how did u get them like that? how did u do the centre caps? the centre caps are the original chrome ones from my old steels just keyed em up and sprayed em satin black and put the rs sticker in em so they look like the rs1800 centre caps
Ratters Posted April 26, 2008 Report Posted April 26, 2008 very smart steve i'm running mine without caps because i thought the chrome didn't look right against the wheel colour but seeing those in black look pretty good
antz Posted April 26, 2008 Report Posted April 26, 2008 i just use the plastic GL centre caps on my escort only yhing is they are a tad loose and ive lost 3 since i bought the car might try some RS stickers on them though or some chrome caps cos they look pimp
