I have finished refurbing all my wheels today, ready for PS5's tomorrow!

I pretty much did exactly what @IainP said to do

Thank you @Pond for the help and the tip for the Halfords titan silver, it matches well

Very pleased, I wish I took ALL the really stubborn old paint off because it does show through even with the many layers of paint
and the old paint meant I had to hand paint the etch primer, avoiding the paint and then go over all of that will normal primer, took me ages!!

Overall, WAY better than before though and that was the goal

I’m not that fastidious, I just zap the whole thing with etch, the brass brush and pads feather the edges and provide a key. Usually though they’re old alloys with not much of any coating left on the inners with our winters.
