Default How to refurb your own alloys cheaply! Revisited

Thsi topic was posted some time ago and made FAQ. I opened a new post as I didnt want to open the locked Faq post and make it a long drawn out affair......however -

The reason for revisiting is
Has anyone other than Buck actually tried this method as yet? Its something I definitley intend to do as soon as work / family committments allow.
I know spartan was looking at it...any others?

Jim

Jim, there was a link (possibly toa Honda forum) recently on one of the X type forums which had a more indepth step by step guide on doing this.Ive looked for the last 10 mins but cant find it.

I've bought some 17" wheels to replace my 16" stock ones, and one of them needs refurbing. I plan to follow Buck's guide, but not for a month or so yet.

If you find it Buck....post it will ya? W ecan add it to your post of the same to fill it out if it is more indepth, although to be honest, I thought yours was pretty good anyway.
God knows when I'm gonna get round to it now, just found out I'm gonna be made redundant end of next month.....so I'll either have no time at all or loads of it....lol
