Keep the centre caps off, looks good.

 

[Batman]

when putting the laquer on spray until it looks wet then move quickly if you layer it right you will get a nice finish - leave atleast 24 hours before handling as your fingers will warm the laquer and you'll have nasty finger marks in - once fitted give them a nice buff up

 

[tommyboy]

looking good jay

very nice jay

auto-paint and i think even halfords do a petrol resistant lacquer. its the same price as normal lacquer but you cant get it in the bigger sizes iirc.

would be a good idea to spray all the wheels in conventional lacquer, and then give them a topcoat in the more resilient petrol-proof lacquer to keep them looking good all through winter.
