RE-painting Wheels

[Pandamonium]

Hey,

Firstly sorry if this is in the wrong place, no doubt Phil will move it later if it is.

Went out to re-spray a set of wheels I have for the car, but id re-sprayed them once before, but the laqure was crap and started to flake.

Now when i spray the wheels the whole thing just cracks and looks crap.

Do i need to strip the wheels right back and if so how?

Thanks

Just an electric sander, then primer them over so you dont waste paint... if it primers fine, the paint and laquer will go on fine

mmmmmm, sounds like it reacted mate, always fun ^. Make sure you dust the primer on gently and build up coats slowly. Or itll just do it again. Its because of the thinner in the primer/paint you applied, its reacted with the thinner in the lacquer/paint you had on the wheel before.

yeah its just the old paint reacting with the new paint, just need to strip them down further, like the dude al said

Cheers Rick, thats what will end up happening eventually, especially if they become buckled.

Thanks

after repainting mine about 3 time's, i wanted to paint them a diff colour so got some painter stripper and scrapper and tokk them right make to metal, it tokk a couple of days but worth it, or get them power coated for 150-200 quid
