cheers. yer i know lol, my mate sprayed them gloss black, before we realised they were illegal! so i had to sand them down, creating the matt finish, and had to scrape off the paint where the main lights were. Im guna just use some white spirit n take the whole lot off - back to original n start again.

How cum you didn't get a bodyshop to colour code it?
I find when spraying by hand the finish isn't shiny, it looks dull, is that the case with yours?
Not a bad effort though, from what i can tell! LOL

It looks ok. Just wanted to get rid of the grey. If i could afford it, would have probably taken it to a bodyshop.

Exactly. Its a pretty good job to be fair, and i think it makes the car look a hell of alot different.

Update 5 - Wheels go Black, Calipers Yellow
Jacked the car up today, to start spraying. Put the car on bricks to spray the wheels
cleaned up the wheel
Let down the tyre and masked it up
Sanded the whole wheel with 240 wet and dry then 1200, till it was completely smooth and matt.
I then applied 4 coats of primer allowing 15 minutes between coats to dry
I am now letting the primer harden and will spray gloss black tomorrow.
