I followed the advice of the forum and I finished the front wheels last night. I'm very happy with the way they've turned out so thanks
The spray job could've been a bit better - when I applied it, it went on a bit thicker in some places than others, then I tried to compensate by making the next coat a bit thicker in other places etc etc, but anyway when all's said and done they still look a million times better than they did before. Also there's a few manky fingerprints on the tyres but I'll have a look at that later.
In that second pic from the front wheel, I noticed that the nearside wheel only has one of those little pins that keeps the wheel mounted in place while you put the bolts in. Is this a big worry? Is their only function just to give you a hand when putting the wheel back on?
Also, that last pic, how come there's a big bronzeish circle in the middle of the wheel on the back wheel but not the front? What does that do? I only noticed it when I took off the hubcaps, which are going to get resprayed after the back wheels are done. Is it a cap of some kind that should be on the front wheels too but is obviously missing?
Righto, next job, back wheels :slayer:
