After having brought some Wolf wheels, I took them home a gave them a bit of a study.
I thought they could do with a paint job and decided to do a proper job on them.
First, here's the wheels, how they looked when I got them.
One of them had a chunk taken out of it and it needed a bit of repair.
So i thought I had better get the welder out first and weld it up.
Then a bit of grinding to shape.
Sorted.
And now some cleaning up with a wizzy wheel, (wire brush on a grinder and drill), to get the old paint off down to bear metal.
What I couldn't get to with the wizzy was taken off in my Shot Blasting Cabinet.
I made this cabinet about 20 years ago and it's done me proud. I forgotten how many bits and bobs I've shot blasted over the years.
Once they where all cleaned up and all the old paint was removed, I took them outside and sprayed them in some primer.
They were left for a few days and then given a top coat of Land Rover Lime-Stone.
I had sprayed the backs of the wheels first and left them to dry.
They were just about touch dry when the clouds came over and it started to rain. I had to rush to get them inside my garage to give the fronts a top coat.
And a posey pic to finish.
Left them for a few days before I took them down to have some nice chunky tyres fitted.
The light in the Garage didn't do them justice. They looked better outside in the sun-light.
And here they are fitted.
JOB DONE... :cheers: for now and I hope you enjoyed my little write-up.
