balls up on vts wheels

[johnb43]

Well got some cheap vts alloys off a friends for 60 quid needed 2 tyres. So had the initial thought of getting them powder coated so sent them away. decided to try and save some money cos its xmas etc so just got them back after
they had been shot blasted.

Anyways cut a long story short decided.to paint them satin black Balls ed up completly which then ended in my friend bringing a tin.of blackboard paint round ha. The end result wad better than imagined but your opinions please.

I knew there was a reason I have allways had other cars wheels.powdercoated. lol

But as I wrote this before I went to the girlfriends and the street lights are off so no.photos tonight it wikl have to be tomorrow

Matte wheels always look dirty. I cant see the finish being too good on them. But depends what you like. Cant see it been too hard to wash the black board paint off with thinners and starting again.

Mate to be honest I was just getting on.my high horse trying to.do it myself should have just stuck.to the original plan and just stuck with the powdercoater. From.now on im sticking to engines etc not painting. I recon.I will just leave them till.spring then get them.powdercoated.

yeah its mainly about the prep.

i did a set of vts wheels, there looking good, still on the car now, did them last autumn.

but my second set i just havent got the patients lol.

so hammerite it is, i really like how there looking tbh

i bought a set of fondmetals. plan was to get them powdercoated, ended up rattle canning them, used decent paints and go prep etc.

but then gave up after doing one wheel and now im black hammeriting them with a brush.

tbh, it doesnt actually look that bad. good enough for my car anyway

Yeah it is the htc just got it broke my iPhone worst decision ever. Who designs a phone with thebuttons so close together. I used to check every text at first but that soon stopped when I realised how many . There were. I did the while smoothing down stuff wiped the surfaces etc. Got bored hence the paint and brush haha epic ill wacks so photos on tomorrow.
