i have got these wheels and wondered what they would look like white on a posi blue vtr.i went to halford today to look at the paint and plasticoat seemed to be the best stuff,it said that you can use it on alloy wheels.
would i need to use laquer on satin white?

no you would`nt have to, but they will shine better and give better protection.

better use grey primer as youll be able to see if the wheel is coated white properly

It will be fine matey, I have used similar stuff in the past. White will go great with blue, just look at doms saxo. smileys/smiley2.gif

i've just sprayed my wheels, i used grey primer (easier to see when spraying white) I also bought the platikote satin white trim and rim paint, and also a tin of clear lacquer, They look the dogs baws.
