KUGT4 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Just noticed my Kuro black sprayed GT4 alloys (previous owner) are heavily oxidizing around the entire nut area, cracked, broken black paint and white powder oxidisation everywhere (post picture at some point) Was going to brush off most of it for now and go over it with heavy duty wax Anybody come across this with the GT4 alloys?

davey_83 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Common for alloys of this age sadly. For £45 worth of products you could refurb them yourself 👍 I recently did a colour change on my Sumner wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack94 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 (edited) Looks like whoever painted them did a pretty crappy job. As Davey has said, you could try repainting them yourself if you're confident. If not you could get them powder coated any colour you fancy for a few hundred quid. I'd reccomend the wheel specialist, they did my LMGT4's and their quality is top notch. Edited October 14, 2022 by Jack94 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KUGT4 Posted October 14, 2022 Author Share Posted October 14, 2022 Have 10x Kuro black spray cans knocking around, gonna give it a go Etch or regular primer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Regular unless you are taking them back to bare metal. Prep prep prep, nice 2k lacquer to finish them off also. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at those, they need to go back to bare, nightmare of a job unless sandblasting 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
