painting wheels advice please
« on: 08 October 2011, 23:05 »
Hi boys and girls going to repaint wheels a diff color. At the mo they are standard sliver so going to paint cream I have preped them. Just wanted to know if I have to prime them or not as I have scufed them up for paint to stick and the silver they are now is not far from primer gray

Sure it will be fine. I used etch primer when I did mine, it's like acid primer and grips onto the alloy well
