Morning all. :smash:

My OE wheel cover is still lurking around here at work and as valiant as my effort was, I really do need to pay and hand it over to someone who has the right tools to paint and lacquer it before Christmas (one less thing to worry about it.) :nod:

Looking to do cash in hand, and preferably someone in the club rather than a business. I can also bring it to the charity meet at Snett. :thumbs:

Cheers!

Awesome, cheers Billy. :nod: I'll upload a couple pics tomorrow of the cover, there's no real work involved. Just another coat of silver and a proper lacquer. :)

Photos. :)
The top cover has a small divot which you can't see on the photo. :rolleyes:Image
And the rear has some minor ones which aren't critical for skimming.

All in all;
The front divot just needs a small 5p size skim.
Both covers need to be painted in a mid silver. (Can't go by the Mitsubishi paint code as they've added a green tint to it for some reason.)
Both covers need lacquering.

And that's pretty much all I need, if your brother can rough quote that I'd be happy. :smash:

Do it yourself then :)

The existing paint needs wet flatting, then the imperfections need sorting, then wet flatting again, then more paint, checking for imperfections in the paint/from the gun etc etc, then it needs lacquering with multiple coats, wet flatting again, baking and then polishing up afterwards.

No real work ;) I am only highlighting what may be involved as some guys on here will believe the 'no real work involved' and then be surprised when someone says "I want
