Started off by sanding out the previously applied primer and lightly scuffed the rims with 400 grit.

I had jacked up the car so I could rotate the wheel so it would be easier to work on and spray another light coat of primer.

A close up view of how a badly rashed wheel has been restored.

Very pleased with the repair/results on this wheel so far....Only 3 more to go. Next step will be to scuff and sand,(with the wheels off the car), paint, lacquerclear....afterwards, Ceramic treat in 15-30 days.

Finally; A fair comparison between the Mini anthracite door insert/pocket and the Tamiya paint sample. This almost works for me. Although by comparison, I still feel the Tamiya TS-38 is just a bit shy in the blue spectrum.

With the right amount of application the Tamiya TS-38 is nearly an indiscernible match to the armrest pull.

Wow. What a shame. I've been wanting one of those old Volvo P1800 since I was a teenager

Initially I dry & wet hand sanded the oxidized, plastic mirror housing with 320 and 400 grit. I should first say that the factory mirror housings are NOT painted. The gloss you see on the factory housing(s) is the actual "plastic".

After !@#%-ing up my first mirror housing, I decided not to give up and re-sanded the mess I had made.

I've used Rustoleum aerosol paint products in the past but never their "sandable" primer. Reluctantly at first; using anything with the word "Oleum" as an active component often makes extremely dubious.

The results were a nice smooth dry dusted finish followed by a little wet sanding. Afterwards pre-paint cleaned with a tack cloth.
