Which do you start from if they're already minty polished but you have a very slight accident with a kerb and autosol doesn't do nowt? :oops:

How did you get the bolt seats to stay silver?

Am in the middle of doing a set too but can't decide on the colour you have (or very similar) or silver so i did one of each to compare. will post pics when done to see what people think.

hOW much paint did you use for that one?

Looks very nice

[Mr.AdamB]

they are not great... can see in reflection where i rubbed them down where the ships in the paint was!! grr and 1 has gone all cloudy redoing it 2moz cuz it got damp etc.. but they look rly nice compared to the old wheels!

1st time sprayign wheels

next time i think i wil lget them acid dipped OR shot blasted will look much NEETER then!

will post pics wen on car. ( tuesday)

happy new year btw

[Lee Keefy]

warm the wheels with a hairdryer before and between coats,

also put the tins on a radiator to warm them,,,obviosly not for too long though or you may need to repaint that :D :D :D

Or a bowl / sink of hot water to expand paint molecules.
