Making Audi TT centre caps my own!

[MarcIV]

Hi,
Fist things first I had a new clutch kit fitted to my golf and obviously I had to take off the front wheels and as I can to put on the centre caps one was missing so I got rid of the other 3 I had and made some money for a set of 4 which I decided to make them my own.
Here's a few pictures to tell the story. 

First these are in naff condition.


Here's a picture of my beaut.


After taking them apart & sanding all the lacquer off to rough them up a little.


After 30minutes of solid sanding I gave them a quick rinse off and started with the base coat/grey primar
On which I do apologise as I never took photos of this part! 

So after 3/4 coats and I got stuck in with the top coats!


This is Audi Quartz Grey 
I wanted to try get same colour as is was before and this is the colour my girlfriend found 


Now as for the Audi rings I should have bought red primar for best results but I never thought at the time 


As for the Aluminium outer trim all I did was respray lacquer straight onto bare metal, at this point I had no idea what was going to happen(as to the looks) but I was fairly happy with the results! 


Then I sprayed about 3 coats of lacquer on all 3 pieces, put them back together and added another 2 coats of lacquer for good luck and this is what I got!


Thanks for reading
