I'm liking that!

That doesn't work for me, I can't visualise it.

Is there a competent Photoshopper in the house that can knock up some examples? Pretty please.
I really don't get on with Photoshop, too complicated and in German.

Not great I'm afraid - not much time, and brown is a sod to do!

Stu,
Thanks that is brilliant.

I think I will be going with the white or cream wheels.

hi I have just primed and painted a wheel in Hammerite smooth silver after lots of wire brushing, rust convertor and mop disc on grinder! looks good but should I flat it back and lacquer or just lacquer? halfords site say It's not needed.

Hi

When I did the wheels on my MR2 I flatted with something like 1200 grade after colour but before clear coat. As I understand it gives the lacquer a decent key and reduces risk of separation and peeling...

cheers stu. paint was brushed on, shall I flat it all back until smooth with 1200 then clear coat with spray? did you use a cardboard template or masking tape. how long did you leave the colour coat to harden? I am using hammerite it dries quick I guess I can try a bit and see.

Ah sorry - my mistake, it didn't sink in that it is Hammerite smooth brush on type. I don't think that lacquer works in that case - it can react with the paint and cause 'wrinkles'. When I did mine, I used 'wheel paint' in a rattle can, then did the keying/lacquer.

White it is peeps just dropped the wheels off should have em back tuesday. Ill stick some pics up when they are back on the van.

are you stripping the interior to do the inside exposed metalwork too - big job that, keep it Tango, you won't lose it in a car park, or is it a case of too much like a utility truck in Germany ?

The wheels all done and refitted

Good work, looks awesome!

I've changed my mind...
