my in law did mine in a hour we some black spray just mask the tyres up good then mat black them 4 a under coat then gloss over use a hair dryer 2 help the paint a long
I hope you rubbed them down 1st
Here is my guide,
When using a lacquer try and get hold of some 2k spray lacquer its much glossier and tougher. You will need to spray in a well ventilated area and wear a face mask.
To do yourself you will need to rub the alloys down.
You need to remove or flatten down the clear lacquer as it is like glass and the new paint will not stick to it.
use a wet n dry paper 400 first then 600 grit. Get a few sheets
You use it by dipping it in a bucket of clean water thats had a small squirt of fairy liquid in to it.
any chips on the alloys can be dealt with using small amounts of car body filler. When dry use a 120 - 300 grit dry sandpaper just on the filler. once shaped use 400 then 600 wet n dry on it to remove the scratches left by the rougher paper
mask tyres
Spray anywhere where you have rubbed through the paint or anywhere you have filled with a normal grey primer. Apply thin coats and let each dry before applying the next. Once dry-a few hours is needed. rub any primer lightly with a 600 grit.
wash/rinse wheels off, well.
let wheels dry.
re mask tyres
spray base coat (colour coat)
apply in thin coats and let each coat dry. you will need around 4 coats
The way you want to spray is imagine the wheel as a clock face.
starting at 6 o'clock and painting centre to rim around the wheel until you get back to where you started from. Its important that you paint quickly so that the paint blends in at the starting and finishing points.
let it dry
Now apply a clear lacquer. in exactly the same method as above
3-4 coats only.
