the paint is black with an effect in it :wonder: from b & q :lol1:

i nitromorsed the laquer off (there is a fair bit on subaru wheels) then wet n dry sanded them down to more or less the bare alloy then grey primered them, wet n dryed any slight blemishes then give them about 3 light coats of paint just to make sure everything was covered.

on the wheel in the pic i had to wet n dry the paint on the second coat as i put to much on one of the spokes :thumb: they still need laquering tho :D

I had a set of Speedline RB5 alloys powder coated a year or so ago, black + flake clear coat - looks like Anthracite, then really great in bright sunlight.

Then last month i had a set of OZ P1 wheels, also powder coated in gloss black. Black is the new Gold! :thumb:
