Hi I am looking for a passenger door. Just the lower metalwork not the glass trim locks etc. Any colour but condition is important.
Any alloys would also be nice mine are a bit scabby.
I understand they are the same style as the LSE wheels but different colour, are there any out there.
Many Thanks
Parts
Re: Parts
Wheels come up nice with Silver Sparkle Sports 2 silver from www.wheelclinic.co.uk.
It has the large flakes of silver which gives the effect for that period of manufacture.
Lightly sand ( or heavier sanding to remove corroded parts )...palm sander.
Clean off with thinners.
Treat all the wheel with Hammerite Special Metals primer brushed on.
Spray on Tetrosyl Trade grey primer ( whitey-grey...more whitish than grey in fact ).
Silver will cover better over the whitey-grey primer.
Mask off tyre and black trim.
Wear paper breathing mask.
Spray on silver sports 2....order the big aerosols.
Follow instructions on can.
2 big aerosols for 5 wheels for 2 coats each should be ok.
Hycote polyurethane aerosol laquer ( after 30 mins drying of the silver as per instructions ).
Use Rustins satin black for hand painting black trim.
I didn't use laquer on the Rustins so need to do the black trim last but I did try the laquer on the an experimental rustins coated metal and it didn't seem to react.
With the silver sparkle 2....shake very well, "dust" on lighty the first coat .
Comes up nice ( nice for my amateur attempts anyway )...they do look good and a mirrorish effect in the sunshine.
I used the Hycote laquer as I had plenty on hand but it does seem to be for both cellulose and acrylic paints.
Best to do it in the summer.
Good luck.
