Painted my wheels **NEW PICS PAGE 4***

[jonesltd]

Having a lil blonde moment!!!

Have used grey primer and have chosen volks satin silver from halfords to hopfully match my rs6's?

Anyway am worried that as the primer looks dark and when I spray the colour on it it will appear darker than it actually is and then its OBV that I have done it myself as the colour is gonna be damn sight darker than the colour it came in. M8 also has tried the reflex silver and was too dark but as it was only a little dent to repair then it didnt matter

in the middle of refurbing my alloys, will post up a tread as soon as its done....had a bit of a set back when i dropped the alloy on its face just as I was putting it back on the golf...Thing is the paint seemed as though it wasnt fully hardened, seemed a bit soft, it was dry to touch and was at least 6 hours since the last coat of laquer was put on....Learnt my lesson as had to go all the way back to the start as it was badly marked

Long story short how long should you wait before you put the wheels back on the car?

Depends on factors such as type of paint used ambient temp etc. General rule of thumb is not to drop alloys on there face in first place
Seriously though can take a few days/ weeks for paint to cure completely

OK, finally got round to a bit of cleaning today, so here are the wheels on the car (along with some other new bits )












What do you think

[zdebx]

Everything's good, but I think there's too much "halfords-style" crap, like the "MkIII" badge, "8V" and aftermarket GTi badge.

A bit over the top with Wolfsburg stuff too, imo.

Otherwise nice
