mk3 longbeach alloys - colour?

[Guy]

Looks well guy....how long did u leave each light coat dry for before going over with the next one....used the same paint on a set of wheels but think i may of rushed it

about 10 mins... but they were very light coats

[Guy]

Did you put a clearcoat on,looks like a quality job there

nope... and i think i should have done

when I felt them tonight they were 'powdery' to the touch

what is the consensus of opinion? its not too late as I can spray some on tomorrow morning?

[Jack3559]

I would.

Bit of extra peace of mind.

Hard wearing, looks just as good too.

Flat down with some fairly high grit (since it's aerosol 800 grit?) wet and dry and give them a few coats of lacquer.

giving them a few coats of lacquer at the moment

Will look better i reckon, wetter, more reflective.

[Guy]

well, they look alright.. not 100% perfect but a lot better than the previous set I had on
