The paints were from Paints4u. http://www.paints4u.com/ works out cheaper than halfrauds even with delivery. I had some paper and bought some more from aforementioned halfrauds.

Yep, just cans mate. Patience is definitely necessary but know how is only gained by doing it, just do lots of research first, the mighty car mods vids are pretty good, in one of theirs they spray a wheel with cans and a wheel with a compressor and gun and the difference is negligible.

Too much work Cheers bud and get on with it, sanding is a pain but it's worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIKH25 Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 Not much today, a wash and clay, amazing how much cr4p is collected over a short time (about 7 months since the last one), mostly the door bottoms. Also polished, waxed and unmasked the wheels and refitted the centre caps, ready to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Bilt Hamber bars, from Opie Oils, if you can find it cheaper elsewhere, they'll price match it. Bilt Hamber don't need special lubes, just water, I use a little bit of ONR added just to give it a bit more slippyness. On 4/12/2014 at 6:09 PM, WilkesyMB6 said: Wheels look great mate, top work!

Yeah claying gives great results for not a lot of effort. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
