strada alloys
okay lads i got these bad boys 2 days ago i was told they wer off a strada abarth tc130 so despite they wont fit over my uno breaks i couldnt c them go to waste so im stripn the paint off the faces and gettn them polished and doing the rest gloss black 3 of them are cromodora and 1 is a speedline the only difference i could find was the cromodora ones have 4 indentations on the black face and the speedline has 3 miner stuff any way i have been burstin ma but gettn the paint off and wet flatting them cuttn and polishing them the nice looking 1 is about 80 percent done and took me about 5 hours plus to do is there a quicker way to do this my hands r killing me lol
this is how i got them execept alot dirtier
then it took me about an hour to clean the 4 layers of paint off just 1 satin black then red and then green then white
after about 4hours on the alloy must admit they will look stunnin when they are done
nearly 1down 3 to go

Re: strada alloys
that looks loads better already mate
there probably is a quicker way mate but im not sure of it i did two of mine by hand well about 90% of them so far and my hands were killing too so know how you feel but i did strip the paint of the second one with paint stripper which saved a bit of sanding

Re: strada alloys
i tried to nitro morse the paint off but the new stuff is junk it had almost no affect on them as i think they have made the modern stuff alot weaker to stop psycho woman going crazy on there ex mans car lol

lol yeah i think it to do with health and safety gone crazy too aircraft paint stripper is ment to b quite good but i used some supposidly none corrosive stuff looked like pva glue took about a hour before it started to work and took a couple of treatments so not great but saves a bit on the fingers

Re: strada alloys
What's the offset on these? I had a set of alloys off a 130tc before and the needed 25mm spacers so didn't use them
