satin or matte black

im going to have a go at painting my 182 wheels but not sure which to do them in?

matt colours are a pain to clean mate, and i'm not sure if they would suit your car. Satin has my vote

satin

thats what i thought ive just started rubbing down the center caps but im wondering if i should paint the diamonds aswel?

also ive only got 2 tins of 400ml satin will that be enough for a set of 4 wheels?

I used about 1200ml doing my 197 wheels red iirc. But then I is crap and use too much paint...

 

[Arctic_182]

so 800ml should be fine then? still unsure about the diamonds

I've recently painted my 15" wheels, and used 1200ml in rattle cans. You'll struggle with 800ml

 

[Arctic_182]

should i leave the diamonds original then?

 

[Jonny1*2]

pop the diamonds out of the centre caps and leave them shiney
