   hey guys i know this should really be on a progress thread but i thought id show you all first, me and my mates have refurbed and sprayed my vts alloys white over the last 2 days so heres the picks for you to check out. open to any feedback/ideas.
   
   here they are to start with, they where in 1 hell of a state which explained why i only paid 100 for them.
   
   
   
   first me and my mate sanded out all the chips and filled all the dents out. took an age btw!!
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   After the hard work was done we started priming ready for the paint.
   
   
   
   then we put down the black paint to find the low and high points ( this i regret doing)
   
   
   
   then after a bit of wet and dry we sprayed them and applied the lacquer and about 8 hours after we started working on them they where done.
   
   
   
   
   
   I the end I spent 35 on materials and about 8 hours work between 2 of us referbin and 3 spraying. ill get them on the car tomo and get some pics up.
