Excellent Scott... :P

Only problem spraying wheels is they are such a bastard to mask up :lol:

Scott-16v!

22-04-2006, 18:24

lol they took aaaages to mask mish, the colour is gunmetal grey, it's a....

....rover colour :oops: :lol:
After cleaning and prep they've had 2 coats of primer, and i've just put 3 coats of laquer on. so will let them harden over night then put them on tomorrow morning :D
gonna leave the rims as they are for the time being but they will probably be done eventually 8)

Did you need to do much prep? Im in the middle of my 19 rims, and kinda wish i never started :lol:

Getting a nice bit of reacting with the primer :twisted:

Scott-16v!

22-04-2006, 18:49

no not really, they were refurbed just over a year ago so i just had to flat the surface down a bit and smooth over a few bits of kerbing and it was on with the job.
A couple of pics with the laquer on and drying 8)

bit of a worry tho, came up m1 then onto chesterfield bypass, i topped out at 115 in 5th at 5.5k rpm......... :? :( was uphill n into the wind but craig got 130 in the willy before it died, this about right? or is the blue smoke a sure sign of the dreaded head gasket going again?!! :( :(

Scott-16v!

23-04-2006, 21:18

hmm shouldn't top out at 115 really mate, mine didn't earlier :lol:
