not letting me into original so, 16x6.5 black steelies, polished lip

[Spark]

wee update on the steelies. got the first one finished polishing wise so decided to try painting the centres to see how it got on, not good.
used hammerite but the paint has went too thick even tho its only two coats and has a runny effect. so, with the guidance of mr fox what i need to do is sand them smooth with some 600 grit then 1200 to get it reet smooth. then use a laquer to finish and protect the paint and the exposed steel.

anyway heres some pics. ignore the paint it will be getting fixed

with a rough sand down and original paint which was scratched and guff looking.

lip polished and the first coat of paint just on bit of rippling but thought it would be ok

after two thin coats it realy thickened up and look gash so will get smoothing in a few days once im happy the paint is totally dry and give it a laquer

Standard dynamique wheels look good mate.
Especialy when you get the car dropped.

Good work Darren.
Looking forward to seeing this car as the finished item.

dont think it would look great with a blue centre tbh :/ and i really love the polished lip. gettin the wheel nuts polished and shiny valve caps. then gonna do the diamonds and tht colourcoded with the deep blackl wheels need to see how i get on coz i might sell them when im done if i see a set of alloys i like within budget
