Painting Gordini Wheels?

[AmosMoses]

Hi All,

Mrs has been using the Clio over the last few weeks, being a typical women she's utterly munted one of the wheels into a kerb and left a 180 degree scratch

I'm not really sold on the gordini wheels and am thinking of getting them refurbed into the gunmetal that the 197 F1 came with.

Is it possible? Is it a case of sanding everything over then primer+paint+satin clear coat?

I know a little about wheel refurbs but as these are this diamond cut effect I'm not 100%

Thanks

Alex

I can't see why you couldn't have them refrubed anthracite, whether it would suit the 'diamond cut' edges or they could change that I'm not sure.

I think the Gordinis are the best looking wheels you can have on a 197 so would keep em, anthracite looks a bit too agressive for my taste and had them refurbed standard silver.

Yes, of course it is possible, I reckon on 2-3hrs a rim plus 1 500ml can of primer per rim to get them ready to receive paint then a few hrs to lay them up with paint and let them dry and then just an hr or two for coats of lacquer
