Galliano Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 well.. i plan on a little project using some old wheels... what kind of paint do i use on the alloys.. the car its self isnt going far at the mooment, and if my mum is driving it touch wood she is good with judging the paseo. so no curbing will be happening + with new tyres it will be the curb saving ones.so what paint do i use to get them re-coated... im going to go for a shiney black, laquered.so what kinda stuff? normal paint?

pallett Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 i have just done my wheels aswell, all i used was traditional spraypaint from like halfords or any normal car shop, just spend loads of time preparing the wheels right, sanding wet and dry dremel if you need it to remove some curbing and just take time i guess lol.

EP82BABE Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Hammerite? Or however you spell it, i got some to do mine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza Al Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Hammerite smooth aerosol FTW mate, I did my cage in it. Its very forgiving paint as you can put it on really wet, and where its quite thick, it doesnt run. Another plus is not needing to lacquer over it.Go for that mate,Alex.
