painting wheels

Post by corsa25 »

Hi, my alloys are looking abit rough, wondered if I could get a good result using spray paint and laquer, does it chip off easily. there not worth paying for a pro job. Should I use an etching primmer? thanks.

you'l be fine using spray paint and laquer, the final result is all down to how well you prep the wheels before hand. only use etch primer if your taking it down to bare alloy, just a sand and a primer will be fine.
