greysquirrel Posted April 14, 2020 Posted April 14, 2020 I've spent the past 3 days refurbing one of my wheels, the plan is to do one at a time. I've filled and painted the back one, but not sure on the colour. Which do you think looks best, front, or back?
Steve Q Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 Think the rear is slightly darker. Have you got anything close up pics?
greysquirrel Posted April 15, 2020 Author Posted April 15, 2020 Yes, the back is darker, here a a couple of photos, one showing how bad it was before I started, and the other two are the refurbed back wheel, and the original front showing the colour difference. It is pure coincidence that both tyres are in the same position! I think the rear is too dark, but anyone who has seen it can't see what I'm on about, so am now refurbing the front to match. Maybe I'm just too fussy? Let me know what you think. And I guess the poll was a waste of time!
greysquirrel Posted April 15, 2020 Author Posted April 15, 2020 Thanks! (the bottom one is not done in the photo but only has light kerbing anyway). I'm happy with the finish, just think the colour needs to grow on me for a while.
Steve Q Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 I think it's a good colour 🙂 better than curbed wheels
aaron_wiles Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 Think the front wheel is the nicer colour! I have the same alloys and mine have damage very similar to yours, think you’ve done a great job refurbing!
