[admanirv]

Well i finally got round to spray painting my wheels at the weekend, took !Removed! ages to do! a day and a half, i painted them a dark gunmetal grey, actaully turned out darker than i envisaged!

Oh well, have a look and give me opinions please!. The pics make them look darker :P

[admanirv]

ah thanks mate!, its good to get some feedback. they look better than standard! anways, was a bit shocked when i finished as they looked darker, tho there a very dark grey when you look at them in real conditions, with a slight metalic look

[vladrulli]

[admanirv]

It requires patience, £10 and sunny slight breey day.

I basically cleaned wheel, primed, painted, then laquered taking wheels off. took a day and a half.

Not bad though really considering how long it would of taken a spray shop to do it and the cost!! Plus, youve got the benefit of knowing that you produced that quality result yourself!!!

im quite impressed witht he results the finish it very very good, no lumps or specs and just sprayed from can. THough i wouldnt say it was perfect. But hey did it myself.

Im a bit dubious to how long it will stay on, "raywong" who gave me the inspiration to do this has had his done for a year or so if i remember right and hes had no problem.

I just need to give them a third coat of laquer and that should sort it out. and when i clean need to be carefull. of course there kerbing as well to take care with.

I got 2 quotes from garages.

I think they would do essentially what i do, but prob put current through it and have spraying tools. I dont even think both of em would sandblast.

quotes were £120-£140 full day job

Looks good to me m8 spot on

[Chappers]

I'm impressed ........... a spray can from Halfords without a faulty nozzle - wow :P

Top job mate

[Demonic Angel]

Thats really impressive for a DIY jobby!

They look stunning!

[admanirv]

Thanks all, i can anyone if they wanna do same. On some of the pics you can see where i spray painted on the drive!.

I have no garage! :(

[scionic]

Nice!

I was afraid of what I was going to see when I read the thread subject, but those turned out really well, mate. Well done.

[raywong]

nice one mate, loving it, it look totally different to the standard t-sport rims, well done it is also a very contrasting colour with thunder grey!

i've got my dashboard and my engine cover sprayed recently to match the colour of my car, will post some pictures up soon

Oh yes, total respect to you, mate. A good job well done.

Sounds like it was fairly labour intensive but the result must be very satisfying. Now get those tyrewalls dressed to finish off the job!

[streetracer_starlet]

That looks really tidy

[earpl]

they look the fu**in dogs mate. very impressed. not sure aboot the brows though :P but the wheels look proper!

[Moffmo]
