Hey their,

I recent picked up a set of WH Grange 17" Replicas, and the paint is coming off them.. badly.. i got told the guy had the petrol powered presure washer on them so paint started flaking off,

what would be my best bet to fix them.

Poweder Coat, or take them to the pannel beaters to get painted up?

And can they powder coat the Champagne colour, the stock alloy rim color?

Thank you.

You are a bit limited without spending cash....I have seen positive results from pressure pack KillRust black.......I laughed when I first saw it,,, But have to admit, fixed to problem....Just very limited colours

hey mate I have VY ss rims, I had saned them back by hand, this took me 1 day, I then used 3m silver wheel paint and a hairdryer. These come up like new after a few days they dried and look like a professional job, I also sanded/grinded the rash back. The 3m pain does not run either, it blends in very well. Its just your color that will be the one to get if they stock it, also used very fine sand paper I think I used 800?
