Getting colour back into skyways
« on: March 14, 2008, 06:49 PM »
Ive just got hold of some Tuff I wheels, they are red, never had a brake applied, I reckon they could come up as new.  Not sure if they are faded or dirty.  Any ideas to bring out the colour in them again

cheers

ive used colour match polish on mine b4 works a treat
or as twobob said theres a old vw trick were they heat up the plastic with a heat gun to bring colour back
but not for the faint hearted tho
