Painting inner wheel arches - How have you done yours?!

Post by Lewis »

As above please. I have recently started doing mine, cleaned them all out with a jet washer first, then with liquid soap to remove any stubborn grime, then painted the two rears so far (white to match the van). I started to do the chassis rails last night in a satin black, but i'm not 100% happy with how it looks, so may strip the black off with nitromors and leave them un-painted, or do them white, but then it may look like 'white overkill' so i'm not sure how to go about it? Any pics you have of how you've done yours would be great! I'll stick some up of mine later - looks loads better now they're white but think I should not have bothered with the black now - arrrgh!

thanks!
