Alloy Wheel Repair
Hi all,
The clear lacquer is going milky and bubbling on my Jeeps wheels. Can anyone recommend a refurb company in the Southampton / Fareham / Portsmouth
area?
Or has anyone tried doing it themselves and got tips? 
Ta
Jon

Just do it yourself, if there's any damage that needs filling use metal chemical metal and sand down afterwards. Prime, paint and use a decent
tough lacquer. Job done,

Ok may have a go myself. Got any tips? I need to strip the lacquer off the polished outer edges of the spokes only and re lacquer.
I guess it's only peeling here as they're polished and not keyed.
Here's a eBay image link to see what I'm on about:

Ouch that's going to be tricky. Not sure how you'd get the lacquer off without damaging the shiny surface underneath.

I have just done a light refurb on a set of alloys I have. Annoyingly 3 of them worked really well, but the paint reacted on the 4th, meaning today
has been spent rubbing one wheel back down. Oh joy.
I found a couple of businesses in the Southampton area who can blast, dip and powder coat for £30 a wheel. I have not tried them as I was happy to
have a go myself first. I cant recall the names of the places, but if you want them I can do some searching...?

I did a set of wheel simaler to that on a honda 750 I had same problem the painted part was fine but the polished part was peeling .
What I did was mask of all the painted areas first then proceed with wet and dry paper of incrreasing grages and scotch bright.
I polished them with 1000 grit and lacerd them came up a treat lot of work tho.
It may sound a dumb Question to you but to others it may be an eureka moment
