Car wheel paint

[MG David]

I once took a steel wheel to a blaster who offered to prime it for free. I accepted which turned out to be a mistake. Pretty sure he didn't blast it properly and the primer covered that up.

The wheels are back. I think they used epoxy prime and 2K base and clear. Looks to be a good job.

Makes me miss my Renault 18, 3-stud wheels rule.

when you get the tires fitted make sure they use the machine that does alloy wheels and doesn't touch the rims in the process

+ give the wheels at least a month for the paint to fully harden!

Bunged them straight on. I have a good tyre fitting place and there is no damage. Doesn't she look lovely now?

I'm doing the UK registration and found the engine number is the 747cc variety. That's going to work well with these aerodynamics.
