a friend of mine is very good with a spray can and want him to spray my wheels white. what is the best paint to use for alloys? hammerite?

just normal halfords paint is fine, if you want a bit more protection sand the top coat down with wet and dry, and then give a coat of laquer or two

i was thinking of getting a gloss white, would that be ok or just get a normal white and laquer

i personally wudnt huse hammerite. i've had problems in the past with it reacting with the paint already on the wheels and serveral makes of laquer.

theres nothing worse then spendng ages on getting them lookin spot on and then you go to put the laquer on and it reacts. its back to the start and u'll be gutted.

thanks for that mate. i have been told about a local paint shop so i'm gonna pop down there at the weekend and get some alloy putty, primer, paint and laquerand then let my friend loose on the wheels. just need some cheap steel rims now to put on while they are being done
