Title: back from being shot blasted
Post by: houston on 17 March 2011, 18:01: love the colour they are now but there goin all black with maybe the sides of the spokes goin red (havent decided)

stupid mate told me to paint them with hammerite then sand it and it fills the rough surface perfectly, well ive since learnt IT DOESNT! gonna give him a clip next time i see him cos hes just doubled the amount of work i have to do!

thinking about fitting porsche (black and gold) center cap stickers instead of vw, think it would look better against the black, opinions?

cant, they were chrome plated before and apparently there not aluminium wheels, cos the nickel coating doesnt stick to aluminium, so if i polish it then itll rust

dunno how true that is but it was what i was told, cant be assed with the work anyway :laugh:

Post by: Dave_IOW on 18 March 2011, 19:08: Black spokes and spray lip shiney silver? You can get chrome spray but i imagine it would look awful unless your prep was amazing?

Then if you spray lips silver or chrome, just laquer over it all?

While your spraying your wheels, whip your rear badge off, seperate, backing indigo blue and badge same colour as your wheels :cool:
