Finally finished painting the rusty wheel hubs after spending 3.5hrs messing around with the Jack lol oh well looks better now after a few coats of satin black hammerite
Any pictures and instructions?
err ok instructions are:
Go to Halfords, buy a hammerite straight to rust pain of your choosing, I went for black as light colours will just look mucky fast imo.
Think they might even do a glow in the dark paint. If you are lazy, you can get it in a spray but this doesnt last as long as the paint in a tub. Stuffs like tar
Get home, jack your car up, take your wheel off being extra careful as they stratch easy. Make sure the hub is clean and dry.
Then paint, or spray, the first coat. You need to leave it about 30mins before applying the next coat.
So with your 30mins you can either jack the other side up and take another one off and paint or if you only have one jack i suggest you take your wheel inside and give it a good old clean and protection, i used some Supagard stuff that came free with my last leon (you will note that Autoglym didnt give you one in your pack if you got one)

You could also put some back to black on the tyres but I made lunch instead.
After you have put your second coat on, put the wheel back on, and then repeat on the other wheels
I would put up some before and after shots but I only just took the pics so if you want to see what it looked like before just go look at your own wheels now, no doubt they will be rusting up nicely, not summat you want to see on a new car!
