I love OCD, even if it is exhausting

Its a case of supply and demand, because Plast dip UK are the only ones in the UK that sell it you are better off going direct to them. I got mine for £9 per can.

In this instance Ebay is not your friend.

A great job and one that I think will be very popular with owners who want to upgrade or change the look of their wheels. Or, who just want to protect their precious alloys from the elements at a minimal cost.

Well done LuckyMarine on producing such a handy and informative guide. It's been rightfully added to three areas in the 'How to' guides section. :broon:

A sneaky peek at how it looks.

Have since done the front wheel too, left the painting of the calliper till a day when its not raining.
Bit of a Dr Jekyle and Mr Hyde car at the moment, one side has the black 17's on the other side has the silver 16's on.
Was dark when I finished one side so no pictures till tomorrow.

looks good Darren. :broon:

Personally I would have the rim silver but I know you're going for the 'Stealth' look.

BTW, Don't forget that socket under the back wheel!

Looks alright so far, did the petrol cap last night and eventually used up the first can after doing all 4 wheels too. Tonight's job will be the side intakes, possibly the wing mirrors and a door handle.
Oh and I'll de badge it whilst im at it, need to refurb the badges and put the inserts in.
