looks like ur getting there. use 800grit sandpaper and itll be fine take ur time and be patient
"thanx mate i been to the company where i gt my wheels from and had a chat with a guy there. He sent me to bms for some U-POL Super fine pads. These will take the shine off the alloys and make them ready for primaing. The total cost for all the stuff inc the wheel refurb kit comes to £26.00ish bargain me thinks. "
"that wont be enough for all 4 wheels!!! that will do 2 lol and u need lacquer good luck though pal"
The black is a mat fnish and the dood said it does not need a lacquer. I thaught the same as u mate. It was only about £8 for the prima and paint so not so bad if i need some more.
yeh id definatly say get more get a nice thick coat on
"I took ur advice mate put on a nice thick coat a little at a time LOOK!!! lol buzzing i did it and it looks well "
round the edges look like dints or runs there not lol its some numbers and letters
good lad lol when it comes to the colour do one very light coat and then a nice even coat ontop. keep it moving dont pause at all...just keep it moving and dont get closer than 15 CM from the wheel when ur spraying.
Nice one lad do a proper job dont be a half arse guy lol.. keep the pictures coming!
