Restoring 14" wheels [2/3]

Carefully clean the wheels with degreasing agent (Sikkens M600) and then apply the first layers of primer. You should use a primer that's suitable for aluminium (for example Sikkens Washprimer EM CF). After sanding I sprayed three layers of Sikkens Washfiller 590 to get the surface ready for basecoat.

I sprayed the basecoat (Sikkens Autobase Plus) to the back side first.

     

     

Then I applied the clearcoat to the back side and finally both basecoat and clearcoat to the outside too.

     

     

I'm very satisfied to the result. Of course you can see the same dents and scratches under the new paint too but as already said the goal was not to remove them, just give the wheels a proper and shiny new surface that will protect them and look good enough.
