could you not have taken them back n asked them to sort it?

looks like you've done a good job though

Whilst I think you've done an excellent job, I'd be straight back to the powder coaters if I wasn't happy with the finish!

Still, looks glossy! Hope the finish lasts matey.

yh i rang them back and he didnt really give a moo he just said i wouldnt get a gloss finish in silver which is balls if you ask me! think he thought he could palm me off cuz i'm a girl.... so i told him kiss mine and did them myself!

Nice job! You didnt need to primer them though unless you went down to bare metal?! Tbh I would of just grey scotched them and cleaned them up then gone over the top of their finish in clear 2k Laquer, alot less work!

Very good effort, they've come out well. There's blokes on here who couldn't do that good of a job - lol

how come you didnt take they tyres off and do the entire rim?
the tires were taken off to have them powder coated then they came back and i had new tires put on, then i wasnt happy with them so i just masked them up and did it that way

I think keeping it standard would be good. Specially considering its number1 :)
