Csl Wheel Refurb

[Mark CSL]

This is some pictures of my wheel refurb

First i had the wheels chemically cleaned to remove the old paint as the numbers in the center of the wheel would be lost with more paint
Front


Back


All 4


Numbers on the wheel


Then we wiped all the wheel with thinners to remove ant contamination from the wheels

They were then rubbed with a grey scotch pad to give it a good key
then panel wiped

Then the primer was applied to the whole wheel inside and out









This was left to dry over nite
Then the wheels were rubbed down with a red scotch pad again to key the primer them panel wiped down to remove any oils from the hands

Then this Audi silver was applied to base the wheel and cover any small imperfections before the sparkling glass coat was applied

Then the clear laqure was applied they should be dry tomorrow and i will get new badges put on and new center caps.

I have also ordered 4 new falcon 453 tires :thumbs:

Audi paint part no
