Retired Admin Posts: 15557 Location: Co. Durham North East | How it looked on the car Rubbed the alloy face back with wet & dry I taped up the wheels that wont need painting Covered the tyre Three good coats of paint, one coat every couple minutes & two coats of lacqure Finished wheel The colour is Vauxhall Smoke Grey ( met ) Hope you like the colour of the wheel, it looks darker on the eye as the camera makes it look lighter than it is i forgot to take a picture of the alloy primed | ||

Retired Admin Posts: 15557 Location: Co. Durham North East | Cheers Tom, ive seen your wheels and they do look nice indeed. I was going to go Black but decided against it with you having yours that way, so i went for a nice metalic grey & looks really well on the wheels | ||

Nottinghamshire | Miller - 5/6/2010 9:42 PM What type of paint would you use, the same you'd buy of the self, say from halfords, that you use to spray cars? i wouldn't use off the shelf products to spray my cars i usually go to my autofactors or somewhere which can mix 2PK paint and use that stuff. Either 2PK or Cellulose paint. I would never touch them crap water based shit tho. | ||
