Some pics...
I'd damaged a wheel so this needed spot repair...
Had a light titanium colour (almost silver and always wanted them darker since I had them done, perfect opportunity...
Wheel off and cleaned up, bead broken ready for refurb...
a bit of rubbing down as only slight to an even finish...
Then after some sampling and spraying a few bits of card we agreed on the colour and he sprayed the 1st wheel up with 1st coat of paint and let it bake...
With the light off and paint only they look a matt finish...
On with 2nd coat...
...couple of coats of laquer and under the lamps...
fitted back onto the car...
Nice!
This was repeated for the remaining wheels, the results as follows...
Well happy! Thanks to Nigel and Paul.
