Something a bit different to wheel refurb but sent my Racingline brakes to Powdertek to get them stripped and painted red - just have seen pics so far but look good - pick up next week and get the logo filled in white.

I have Glacier White touch up paint for my S3, can I just fill the Racingline Logo with the touch up kit then what? Do I need to lacquer over it or what?

Is it a halfords kit ? I know they come with primer, colour, lacquer. If it's a different brand it might not need lacquer. I've some in a touch up kit if u want, can't hurt to lacquer regardless I'd think.

Yeah halfords kit so has the 3 pens but the new brakes are already painted so do need to add primer to the logo, let it dry, paint, let it dry, add the lacquer?

I wanted to change the colour of the 2002tii's wheels. I took them to Cobra Customs and went with satin gold. I'm happy with the result but it would of been nice to keep the polished rim.

That is such a cool car @Chris tii and the Gold really lifts the colour of the car also.

I have been asked to share some of my brothers recent work. They don't put a great deal up on Social Media as they dont have much time to to be honest.

@Tufty ‘s brother did my F80 wheels in the picture above.

Thoroughly thoroughly impressed and their service is top notch.

Can’t recommend them enough.
