done a few bits today,
i was going to get the rims refurbed professionally but thought i would give it ago myself. 2 are primed and 2 have yet to be primed. the edges have come out a treat so im fairly chuft with them so far. i also decided that the bumpers and skirts and possibly wheels are going to be painted ford matt grey. i got some things primed:thumb:

can just see the rear quarter fins of my skirts that i primed aswell:)
nice1 looking good
lovely nova that -- makes me want one more and more (than i already do :))
Are you spraying with spray cans?
As i couldn't find Ford Matt Grey in a spray can anywhere, tried all local motor factors, Halfords etc.
Wheels look good, i wouldn't go for a matt colour on wheels tho, matt finish gets easily scratched/marked. I'd go for something glossy that you can laquer to protect.
i used rattle cans to prime them yea, although i might use a gun to paint em with, had matt antracite on the old cav rims and was ok so gonna try for matt grey
They're round? They're black?Quote:

however yesterday i went to my local bodyshop suppliers and asked for hurricane grey, but i wanted it to have a matt finish. the guy told me i couldnt have hurricane grey with a matt effect as the paint type and the matting agent were two different types of paint.
in the end he showed me loads of paint chips and decided on a colour not sure what car/make it was off but its exactly what i wanted.
so for anyone around stoke on trent looking for paint or any supplies give B & S Supplies a call. Paul there is a top guy helped me out loads, even stayed after they were ment to be shut to sort this paint out for me:thumbs:
B & S Supplies number is 01782 819638:D
anyway took some pictures along the way.
Bough my self a gun aswell to do the painting:D
