Not sure but I'll be getting some abarth badges soon so the white n red would look better. Also did the calipers :) ImageUploadedByFIAT Forum1426288249.036421.jpgImageUploadedByFIAT Forum1426288322.860217.jpg
 
White wheels look amazing when clean. Did you paint the drums black ? Before you put all the wheels back on give the wheels a couple of good coats of wheel wax , this will make them alot easier to clean, mine are just cleaned weekly with autoglym shampoo. No need for any nasty acidic cleaners.

Yeah, next on the list when I get black spray paint. Sand the hell outta the drums an spary em! I'll also be spraying all the black trim again, there faded a bit :)
 
It's all about the prep :D Sand down any scuffs and dinks, you want your rims completely smooth. Then a few coast of primer if needed. Then your ready to spray :) I did 3 coats, 10 mins each coat. Here it is, no sign of any wear. eBay job haha View attachment 152182

How many coats of primer and paint did you do per wheel, and what sandpaper did you use? Thanks!!

A light coat of primer per wheel, if you do to much you can always sand down again. I did 3 coats of the championship white per wheel, since spraying whites a little trickier to paint than black! Just wait at least 10 mins between coats, never go to heavy with the first 2 coats!!

Post a pic of your GP, would like to see the before and after :D
 
Okay mate thanks, just need to get some money flowing then she'll be ready for her paint haha!
