i reckon i did a pretty good job, i just did what you guys said and kept patient, took a whole weekend due to rain and other weather conditions but im stoked with how i did for a first timer.

and i really do agree with you ben, makes the car look quite different, all i need now is smoked side repeaters *loads up eBay*

keep the feedback coming guys :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

personally i hate that primer - its really tempremental. I found that dulux etch primer is great. Appart from that pretty much any paint is going to work fine as long as the surface is cleaned and primed. i just resprayed my old wheels last weekend as they are for sale. They actaually turned out better then when I did them for me! yours look great mate and will last as long as you look after them. great job.

looks good
now go and hit up mx5centre for the nb wheel nuts
they should only charge you a few bucks and since they are closed in and chromed
they will suit the black better.

This reminds me of my datsun days when an improvement was to paint the rims black and put on a chrome outer ring with chrome wheel nuts, complimented with the springs cut in half :mrgreen:
Huh?

It does look good Cheyne, and hot too.

Personally, I still like the rim around the edges to be silver, but it looks pretty good as is.
