Alright guys

I want my wheels spraying white, my mate who is a spayer has offered to do it if i take the wheels off my car and give them to him, the issue i have is i dont have anything else to put on the car in the mean time. Therefore im thinking of giving him one at a time but he might not be too happy if i suggest it. So what i want to know is How long does it take to dry on a wheel? if i was to give him the car could he have all 4 done in a day doing them one by one (letting each on dry and puttin it back on then taking another off....)

I know i should ask him but he's very difficult to get hold of!

Cheers
Matt

to be fair, dont trust them! not for a whole day anyway living in blackpool gets extremely windy and with my luck it'd come off them

buy some cheapo steelies with shit tyres for 40quid. It's worth it if he's doing it for free?

if he is a pro sprayer then it shouldn't take more than 6 hours.
this is if he had a proper spraying booth and an oven.
just use axle stands mate, they wouldn't sell them if they wern't safe to use, just park it somewhere out of the way sheltered from mother nature

I did some myself, the chances are they will take a while due to him having to sand them back, layers of primer, paint and laquer! Also, tyres shouldn't be put back on for 2 weeks as the paint will take a bit to dry and they could scratch them all up putting the tyres back on!
