  • Hair Cut Anyone?

    Hello fellow surfers!

    I hope you are all well?

    After looking at my terrible wheels everyday since I bought my 3rd Gen
    I bought another set of wheels to use while I refurbished my original ones.
    I did the spare first, in silver, but it looked a bit dull to me and didnt have any shine to it, so I sprayed the other 4 wheels WHITE ....

    I like the look of my surf now, it stands out a bit!

    Anyone know of any hairdressing jobs going?

      You get a gold star for looks from me for not having an A bar.
      The wheels could grow on me. I will have a white set shortly but they will sit below a dramatically different paint job.

        I hope it's not my dream paint job! Your wording suggest it may be

        Would be mad if so. Does it include red and white? With maybe some orange and yellow?

        *gulp*

        I'm a long way off so I'd be beaten to it.

        Oh...sorry OP. Wheels look great

            I'll hunt it down.

            Here's what I meant. I'm a long way off so it's a dream.



            Quick and dirty but I did it ages ago (not too long after buying) and I have it on my desktop

                  Hello Darren, I hope you and your family are well?

                  I didnt want to go mad with the mods on this 3rd Gen, on my 2nd Gen I had all the bull bars, A bars, spot lights and fancy deep-dish alloy wheels put on, but I didnt like having the really bad pitted and lacquer peeled wheels this car came with.
                  It took me a couple of weeks to sand them down, apply 3 coats of high-build white primer, 3 coats of high-gloss white paint and 3 coats of lacquer.
                  It was harder than I thought it would be, but well worth it!

                  I have cleaned up and polished the wheels that I put on my truck while I refurbished my original ones. They are in good condition and 10 times better than mine were, so I have put them on egay!

                    The family and I are great thanks, hope you're ok. The truck does look nice but I wonder how long it will be before it's lifted slightly and got muds on, I bet your work colleagues are waiting for it after the 2nd gen with the bars etc. ooo ooo and roof lights and a whip aerial and a snorkel and a winch........................
