Alloy spraying

[Tylerrr.]

Currently got the 18' Sline alloys in silver as shown in photo but wanting to spray them to look the the TT ones. Few questions.
- What colour would I need (looked at Halfords for the anthracite spray)
- How many coatings would I need?
- Primer should I use does any one recommend?
Open to any other suggestions of the process!

Whilst not wanting to spoil the party. I would have them professionally done. I have seen too many DIY jobs where the new colour flakes off and the old colour shines through. Will cost more but better in the long run.

Have a go yourself. If you screw em up get em refurbed. Why not just get a knackered wheel to practice your skills on.

I did my old gti wheels ages ago. Turned out really well. Buy plenty of masking tape, wet and dry and a deck of playing cards. Plenty of lacquer and take your time.

Anyone know any good spraying places around leeds then and a price?

Them GTI wheels look spot on!
