Styling Spraying Mk2 Alloys

[Car nut]

I see afew of you have done it....

Obviously it cant be done in this damp weather but how many coats of paint and how many coats of laquar did you give each wheel?

Still havent found out what colour red yet- check my avatar do you recognise it. No sticker under the bonnet with colour on.

beg to differ!

2 coats of primers, sand it to glass like finish
paint 2 coats, dont touch it with sandpaper if its metallic, cos the paint sits specially, so if you do then u get odd swirls and flecks
1 coat of 2k lacquer, or couple o coats of hafrauds spray tin.
tbh best tinned stuff from 4wheelplay.com

quick polish and ure dun!

need anymore help just ask.

scillia red looks about right...get tester from halfrauds and test on underside of bonnet.

urgh, on a red car? thatll look....interesting...gloss black maybe? or similar to mine? maybe bright white? it will work fine in gold, just think its not worth the effort to do it in gold, cos it wnt look vgood imo.
