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.



Got all the wheels primed today.

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 !!!

2nd wheel stripped back and etched primed

Yellow filler primer arrived today x3 coats over the grey etch primer

I now have x3 wheels ready for top coat just have to wet sand wheel no4 in the morning let it dry in the sun and give it a few Coates of filler primer

Superb job. Looks better than a cheapo mobile job I used a few years ago. Current: FF Westminster money pit

That is looking very good - love the colour

What colour have you used? Looks very nice

I struggled to find a colour I liked.....I defo hated the standard wheel silver I tried at first so started looking and decided to go for something a bit different its called

Pro dark bavarian anthracite grey

Cracking job there Dave looks super, like the colour too

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.

I will also need x2 more cans of this paint to finish off the last 3 wheels.....BUT it seems this colour is now out of stock from every source until further notice.

I might get creative and spray the inside of the wheel in satin black as iv x2 large 500ml cans sitting here doing nothing and only use the bavarian grey on the outside........
