White Paint for Alloy Wheels

[RichMcc]

Can anyone suggest a good colour to get for spraying alloys white?
There are probably a million different shades of white down halfrauds so Im looking for a brilliant clean white.
Whats the colour they spray the clio's in? Thats a nice white lol

Should it also be lacquered? Im used to spraying metalic's not solid colours?

Erm, white?

Go to halfords, pic one that looks white. If you like the clio white, go to halfords, and buy renault white.

Yeah but you cant really tell what its going to be like by looking at the cap, Dont wanna buy it then find out it doesn't look right....
Just wondered if anyones done this before and could suggest a white that works well on alloys lol
Maybe some ones got white alloys and could tell me the colour
I know it sounds nuts!

vauxhall glacier white gleams!!

you will defo need to lacquer them with a few layers too!!! and you do realise EVERY speck of brake dust shows up on em (trust me, i got a Celica GT with white OZ rims on!)

make sure there well prepped too, and give a few good solid layers of primer, paint and lacquer.... good looks come from good prep work....

My car hardly goes anywhere these days so not bothered about brake dust issues she'll just sit there gleaming.
