After looking at the results Dan achieved with graffiti paint (when he was doing his mentally slammed Mk3 VR Estate) I'd give that stuff a thought too. Speaking to a couple of friends, I'm told you can get some really good hard wearing results with it and i'm keeping that in mind for when my time comes to sort my rims out.
I don't have any experience with aerosol flake and candy paints but i'd assume prep is even more important with them as having to flatten the finish too much afterwords could upset the final look.
Yeah i was thinking that myself, so still undecided as to what colours to go for. I've spent today painting all my calipers up in yellow to match the colour coding under the bonnet. I had thought about doing the middle of the wheels in yellow but now sure if it'd be too much with the calipers??
i like them wheels, how come you didnt just grind as much curbing out as possible, that way u could have them polished up on the lips.
well a few of the wheels had quite deep curb marks so to grind them all out would've meant taking quite alot out, so the easiest option was too use some chemical metal and rebuild it, which they've come up quite well, not perfect yet, still need a bit of sanding yet
