im going to be spraying my wheels in a few weeks. and just wandered what peoples opinions are as to what colour they should go.


i want to go a darkish silver i was thinking ford graphite grey but open to peoples thoughts. (not going black). i will be using the cans from halfords to do it so if people suggest a colour can you tell me what car its off please.

cheers matt

My old wheels started like these



Sanded down all the bad bits



A little helper to wash the dust and crap off the wheels is always needed!



Painted with wheel primer





After a coat of Anthricite





Out in the sun to dry

If your doing white/black then you could just use the Halfords wheel paint and not use laquer.

Cheaper but wont last as long imho
