use 60 then 80 the 120

 

depends how badly damaged they are tbh

 

and why are you taking the paint off?

 

to refurb them

 

do the alloys need any repairs? 60, 80 grit are going to take the alloy back to bare metal only need to key the wheels to put another colour ontop only need to primer if your taking the alloys all the way back, get the halfords project pack sandpaper going to need alot more fine grit paper if u decide to primer the alloys ur going to need a finer paper than u have to sand it before you apply the colour.

 

yeah its done now anyways, took it back to original primer then primered it again ready to be sanded lightly and sprayed. cheers for help guys!

 

You don't need to remove all the old paint to refurb them just key the good areas as stated above

 

i followed this tutorial. http://www.corsa-c.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?208230-Painting-SRi-alloys
ive only done one so far as i'm swapping around the spare wheel.
so youre saying that i can just lightly sand the key areas and i can spray the paint straight on, and dont have to primer myself???
And is that method only for if the wheels dont need to be reconditioned... just for a respray?
thanks

You need to rough up the good paint i think so the primer has something to 'key' into.

So rough up the good paintwork, and sand back any pitting etc until its nice a smooth, then follow that tutorial above.
