Well the paint arrived so got a start with under coat and tried the silver on the spare wheel which had under coat all ready.

After finishing all 4 wheels I decided I didn't like the colour or the finish so started again

You've got more patience than me - I thought the spare was looking pretty good. Current: FF Westminster money pit

Here is one of the finished wheels sorry about the light the front of the house is in shade by 11am. I dont like the colour or the finish top coate really shows up bits I missed in the prep stage. Iv got filler and filler primer on route to make a better job of it if needed. Just need to find a top coat I like that I can lacquer as this first stuff says cant be over lacquered and their from the same maker. Doh !!!

Thanks fellas.....the rain wind and general cold has stopped any further progress with this at the moment so will need to wait for the sun to return.
