This might sound like a no brainer but did you spray the back of the wheel too?
Also what white did you use??
Cheers

no mate we didnt paint the backs as they are not visable. i used mercedes polar white. dont use just the halfords gloss white, use a proper car body colour as the halfords gloss white is really thin and may cause run lines.

so what if i had black and silver alloys (TSW black ice) and i wanted it all in gloss black, could i use this guide to the same effect? there is not curbing just the silver parts the paint has started to "flower" and looks so bad! hmmmm tempted!!! but then i guess need 4 wheels while i do it........

good job mate only thing i would suggest is using a lighter grade of sandpaper to some half arsed mechanics/come paint sprayers etc etc as you can leave deep scratches which will show up big time when the paint is layed down.
nice guide though pal good work
