Painting Alloy Wheels?

[paulc]

Just a thought, I wondered if it would be a good idea to paint my alloy wheels as a cheap way of tarting them up, rather than paying £100s to get them refurbed.

Anyone tried this?

Not to the Surf, but yes done this before...

Worked out well and looked good - the key is preperation: sanding, priming etc

(I even managed to remove scuff marks and a dent by using a filling primer)

Whenever Ive done it, I've used a tin called "5 wheel silver" (i think) and always comes up with a good finish. Its about the same coulour as a factory alloy and is easy to use.

Now now, you bad people, how am i ment to be able to afford my holidays this yr with you lot doing the wheels yourselves.

Only joking
