Well pleased with these!
Had the car three weeks or so now and finally I've got round to tidying up the wheels.
Started off like this:
Damned good clean and rub down, then on goes the paint:
Tidied up the brake calipers too and remounted the wheels:
Couple of silver prodrive stickers added and I'm chuffed to bits

Had some paint left over and the bonnet scoop was looking shabby so:
Guess I'll need to do the two rear spoilers to match now
What do you think guys?

what type of paint you use, any lacquer on top or just paint. Got a silver classic and the black wheels are really growing on me. Got the standard 5 spoke, pretty shabby just now, wondering how they would look black

The wheels were really expensive to do........
Peugeot Graphite Grey paint - 4 small cans = £12 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Peugeot-Graphi...item45ef0f544a
Halfords filler primer - 1 can = £6
Halfords Lacquer - 1 can = £6
Stickers - 4 prodrive = £3
Sanding bits n bobs = say £3
Blimey how can I tell the wife I've blown another £30 on the car

I have tidied up alloys on a few of my cars, it seems that everything is in the preparation - which is tough if you are as impatient as me
The smoother the surface the better the finish so just take your time
One thing I did buy from eBay was some tack rags, they are like a sticky fabric excellent for that final wipe over to remove all dust etc before the paint went on - they were cheap too!
