Default Sprayed my wheels last night

Hi, took my scabby wheels off during the week and have been beadblasting them at work in my spare time.



After masking the tyres i primed them with acid etch primer


then i painted the lip silver, with solvent based base coat (not wanting to poliish it as i dont have the time and effort to keep on top of that!)
Then masked the silver and painted the spokes with waterbased basecoat.

and to finish a coat of 2k high solids clearcoat
