As the title says, going about respraying my alloys, want to refurb them and get rid of kerb marks and was wondering if anyone wants to suggest colours?

If anyone is handy enough with photoshop and shouldn't mind messing with a few colours that would be great

Get the lacquer off the spokes and mirror polish the spokes
 
Yeah he would have to polish them but if you seal them with some sealing wax you woundnt have to polish them that often
 
Nice one guy! I'll look into it is mirror polishing a big job? I'd be doing it myself with a limited skill set

It's not that hard a job to be honest, gets kinda dirty ... Did it on my VW Polo 6N2 GTI

Once they are polished seal them with a 2K clear coat.

Used this kit off ebay to & a electric drill polish them with.

Diamond cut finish looks crap and over time the laquer will pit and look even worse bust to remove the laquer and polish them up
 
That's what is already happening mine, in around the centre caps is bubbling and laquer is peeling off
