Very tidy!
I think the wolfsburg stickers give the standard alloys that personal touch

Didn't you do the lip of the rim though?

I see what you mean, yes, did paint the rim, the 'rough' bit you can see in the pics is part of the tyre, I didnt want to clean the tyres off right down to the rim until I had pumped them up fully and put them back on the car.

what grade/level of sanding paper did you use?

[FOREST GREEN]

SANDPAPER

For the initial sanding down, I used 800 grit, then, after each coat of primer was applied, I gave it a light 'key' with some 1200 grit. I did NO sanding between the coats of colour, JUST between the coats of primer.

Hope that helps!!

You're better off with wet and dry paper.
I don't know anyone who rubs down between primer coats, should be smooth before you start painting anything.

It's all in the prep.

If you can find 2000grit with a bucket of Fairy liquid for final rub down you will be laughing.
