last thread on this wanna make sure what people think before i get tha paints etc...

also best way to spray them??
goin to use hamerite on them i think, just give them a light sand and then spray them??

[mirrorblanks]

get some good quality masking tape aswell

[Lewis]

Yay for me!

[samueljonburgess]

ye? is that all it will need is a little rub down for the paint to grip?

[mirrorblanks]

best to rub it down abit, quick coat or 2 of primer and then you'll be fine

[samueljonburgess]

even with hamerite ill have to primer it??

[mirrorblanks]

ye, it will help, but tbh i wouldn't use hammerite

[marcusd]

Hammerite Smooth Finish Aerosol

Hammerite Direct To Rust Metal Paint can be painted directly onto rusty surfaces, and thanks to its special 3 in 1 formula there is no need to use a primer or undercoat - saving you precious time

[mirrorblanks]

ye it says that on can but i would recommend you prime it first, helps to stop chipping, which you'll get alot of on wheels

thats what i was guna use

if i give it a coat of lacquer for protection?

[mirrorblanks]

best to prime before, and lacquer after it

[marcusd]

u can;t lacquer hammerite, it reacts cos its all in one spray. can says not to use lacquer before u jump on mirrorblanks.
and yes i did lacquer over hammerite to see and it does react, lifts all the paint off and flakes off

[mirrorblanks]

i've lacquered over hammerite and never had any reaction

personally i wouldn't bother with hammerite, i'd go to a paint suppliers and have them make up some cans

[marcusd]

but have done everything tho and are amazing

[mirrorblanks]

whatever, pathetic you are, i'm trying to give him advice and your trying to one up me or something

[samueljonburgess]

so is he...
no need to be rude to him mate....

[iSlayeR]

Looks great to me :y:

[samueljonburgess]

just need to get the paint and rubber them up :)

[mirrorblanks]

seriously don't bother with hammerite, will look alot better getting some paint mixed up and put in cans from a paint suppliers and then clearcoat them

[geoffgti88]

Yea as said be carefull with hammerite, it reacts with normal car paints. Definatley go for the red rims tho looks great;)

[samueljonburgess]

they are only steels mate a sand down and then hamerite i think no point spending more money than they are worth then i can spend money on nice tyres :)

[mirrorblanks]

ye they are only steels, why spend money on nice tyres ;)

[samueljonburgess]

cos thats what keeps you on the road isit not?

[mirrorblanks]

bloody hell can you not get irony/sarcasm?

[samueljonburgess]

pritty good at sarcasm to be honest...
decent tyres are worth the money...
i only want to spray them up to give them a little glow not to be show standard :)

i appreciate your help and the fact you probs you do it for a living and know what your doing

thank you

[jeffchiz]

i sprayed my steels up using hammerite smooth and i used lacquer and it seamed fine tbh, but i haven't lacquered my borbets which i used red hammerite to do the lip, but that was only for a quick job if i keep the car ill get it done professionally, i used primer with my red dish as i was spraying on to a black wheel the red was way to dark, when i used primer it made the paint brighter

[samueljonburgess]

ye i think ill just hamerite them... as said they dont need to look 100% :)

was just guna do like a 1/4 of the wheel so you could only see a full red lip when driving haha!

[joe333]

yep!!!!

[Lewis]

Hammerite can leave an amazing finish if your confident with using it. The cellulose in aerosol lacqure will react i know first hand how badly so DO NOT lacqure hammerite.

Where's Peter_D with his family guy pic when you need him!

[shibby]

they look prity sweet fair play

Imo Hammerite Smooth is a t*at to use. To get a nice, glossy smooth finish you have to put on quite thick layer's but it run's far too easily then.

Even Halfords aerosol paint would be better. I use some Hardhat stuff that i get from work and it's much! better than Hammerite Smooth.

[kc-saxo]

are these standard VTR steels

[timmythechef]

vtrs doing have steelies do then?

[samueljonburgess]

are these standard VTR steels

306 steelies i think cant remeber bought them off a bloke on here

as much as i wanna do the lip i may just keep them black :) not sure

[Greeko]

looks nice that
