pandamonium Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 ... that I bit off more than I could chew!I have started trying to refurb these Lada Riva rims, but they're a little worse for wear! I will succeed, I know, but if anyone knows of a better set, I'd be most grateful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VWPowered Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 get them in, sand blasted/powder coated and they'll last ferever well long as you dont chip them, but its worth doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Station Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 You should prepare them (eg. wire brush and sandblast and then £1 Poundland primer), and spend ages getting the proper paint on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 What are you on about man, the ones on the Stanza were multiple times worse than that and I've sorted them to an acceptable standard. Give it an hour with a wire brush and some sandpaper, mask it up, few coats of filler primer, paint, it'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
