Wheel refurb
Wheel refurb
I've done a search with no luck so was wondering if anyone has done a successful refurb of OEM alloys or amy other type? What type of prep/paint/laquer etc was used ?

Yes. Down here, Duplicolor paint brand has a good wheel paint and clearcoat. As long as the paint hasn't flaked off the wheel already, just sand the wheel down with some 200-300 grit sandpaper, paint with the wheel color paint, then clearcoat. Turns out pretty decent looking. That's why I've never bothered buying new wheels.
