its not my taste but hay each to there own
but would it not be better to refurb the wheels just a sand on the scrapes to finish of a good spray job

its all in the prepwork to get a good looking finish but im a bit of an profectionist

my bike wheel before painting by hand




sanded and base cote



final top coat

mad about cars and bikes :)
if it aint broke dont fix it :)

Luckymarine. I was a doubter when I first saw the wheels, but that looks absolutely amazing. :omg:

The red goes really well and i can't wait to see the chrome door handles against it too ... are you going with chrome vents as well? Only thing I would do different is to stick with silver alloys to stand out from the dark of the car, but that's just a personal taste thing.
Fantastic!! :broon: :broon:

Unfortunately the wheels were already a black when I bought them, I just sanded them down a little and then painted them up.

Although there are plans afoot.....


When the gold gets stocked in the UK I'm getting sent an email to inform me.
Also getting an email when they've got the glossifier stocked.

The wheels were my first forray into the world of Plasti dip and it taught me a lot about what it can cover and what it cant. I have metal filler waiting for a time when I take the wheels off and give them a proper refurb.

Ha funnily enough someone else mentioned that, Also looking at quite a dark tint for the rear window to carry on the effect.

Stealth Bomber, it has a certain ring to it...

Again taken via a phone just as the light was failing but gives a good impression of where Im at. Need a stanley knife blade to cut the rest of the tape off to create a smooth line.

By the amount of light they throw out I had to check if they had been covered already!
