    with a bit of sanding and flatting, would aerosols be suitable for refurbing a set of 16s?

    They're only the standard wheels from a UK A6 and they're a bit bubbly. They'll be up for sale soon and they won't exactly end up being the centrepiece of anyones pride and joy but the question is whether the paint will stay on?

    Very interesting there kbannon- I have a feeling that might be handy to know. I sorta know a Wurth rep but I'll have to wait til i bump into him.

    If the materials aren't too costly, maybe i could tackle the wheels for the sheer practise of it. Runs won't be a problem on my standard 16s.

    Its worth a go,i practiced before on an old set of wheels with abit of curbing,theres a specific can of colour i bought that matched the wheels perfect too that you'l pick up in any motorfactors.

    It wasnt an A1 job but for a first attempt it was ok and its cheap and handy enough to do
