Very nice, I prefer it to the gold. Did you do them yourself?

yup did them myself :)

I'm in the black wheel mafia too. The best way to prevent brake dust

Looks like you did a great job mate :thumb:

I have got black wheels as well but could do with a refurb. Ideally want to get the re-done in high gloss black.

They look very tidy:thumb:

i need to give them a good polish.. in a few days just waiting for the lacquer to harden fully :) they had 4 coats of lacquer lol :D

no more brake dust :)

look cleaner for so much longer..........

every car ive had in the last 3 yrs has had black wheels... the mrs thinks i have a slight obsession lol :D

Hehe same here. Every car. Although on my first ever car they were only black cos I lost the hubcaps hehe

Looks really good

looks smart mate what prep did you need to do and what paint you use?

cheers paul

thanks :)

i sanded them down to bare metal then filler primered them then i had 2 litres of high gloss black 2pac paint left over from a bit of practice work i did ages ago then i laquered them with 4 light coats :)

i like it mate used to love gold but since having the p1 much prefer grey/black wheels.

thanks matey:thumb:
just a couple more questions :lol1:
did you use wet + dry sandpaper and what filler primer did you use?

cheers paul

I can smell an earner for sp33dy here.... I bet his inbox is filling with wheel painting job requests as we speak hehe
