Fran treat yourself to some Gtechniq C5 , the stuff is expensive but one hit with this stuff and the wheels are sealed for almost year, i'm holding the mine back ready for the wheel's for Project Polo.. Poorboys is also good and half the price of C5..

Good idea Darren as the bottle i have here in front of me is only the size as one of my wifes nailpolish bottle's, but is more than enough to do all 4 wheels.

A Sealants acts like a wax but will/can last longer. We use paint sealants more so during the winter months.

Oooooo, what colour is that? Im re-doing mine again soon, they are currently anthracite, not sure I want them black though but I love that flake colour in yours.

 

[FranA3]

hi mate its a mix of two colours sprayed at the same time basicly one over the other while still wet so they blend into each other , the colours i used were honda new deep bronze and ford panther black to give them a bronze/redish/greeny tint to the paint , glad you like it

if it does protect your wheels for a year as colin says then i think its worth the outlay

 

[tdia4]

Cheers, might have to stick with anthracite then and go with a little twist like that or something.

i only changed the colour of mine because i was bored of the same colour and they had been sprayed like that for well over a year and a half so wanted a change lol , mine were originally anthracite , add a little of your own touch to them thats what i did and im over the moon with my choice of colours

 

[FranA3]

bugga lol would have saved loads on tyre gel

lmao yeah it would have but i dont pay for it

 

[drmole]

[FranA3]

i was also thinking of respraying my mirrors and my front audi rings in the same colour as my wheels what do you guys think of that they are satin black now with clear coat

 

[drmole]

see how the mix of paints hold up first on the wheels i would

 

[FranA3]

the thing is they need redoing anyway as they are chipped
