i followed this guide and my wheels turned out lovely ... very happy with the result one of the wheels could have been sanded back a bit more and curb marks were a bit deep but im happy overall.
very good guide

The best advise i ever got for DIY paiting was to put the spray cans in hot water, about 60 degrees celcius. This makes the paint thinner for smoother application.
You'll be surprised at the results.

I used 1 can of each on each wheel (400/500ml cans) so 4 primer, 4 base, 4 lacquer. I left them to dry overnight between primer, bas and lacquer, so a few days it should take.
