Stew Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Ah, good stuff. As I say I will do the landie wheels in Summer. I have a crafty plan to get them done in a oner though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S1 HNK Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 looks really good mate, have you sprayed the tyre with primer though? Looks like it! Get some tyre gloss on there and that really set the wheels off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get some tyre gloss on there and that really set the wheels off. Yeah the first one was a bit rushed so i will be going over it again to make it look like the one i have done today. Will get the wheel polish and then they will be sparkling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BulletMagnet Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I reckon that's nurrish's secret batcave.... Make sure you end up painting the whole wheel rather than just the faces, and I do mean taking off the tyres and spraying them complete. Reason is that it makes a complete coat and reduces the chances of peeling, flaking or bubbeling, because there is no edge for for anything to get under. My bro has a set of PVM wheels for his CBR600, which are powdercoated black, but on one of the edges (the surface that faces the hub when mounting) had chipped a little, but the knock on effect was that the powder coat damage got more and more. Harris UK thankfully replaced the wheels with a new set free of charge, because the manager took a look at them and instantly said that the powdercoat looked off. PVMs are made to order and hence the £1000 pricetag per pair. But other than that, it's looking good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must be lucky to go to work and work on my car Have done both inside and outside of the wheel. Going to give it a test to see how the weather treats them. But they look sooooo nice im real happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
