Dont rush it mate. If you're gonna do it, do it right... i.e. when the weather's a bit warmer so the paint dries correctly, and you are in daylight...!!

Did he lean out of his window and paint his wheels?

 

They actually filmed part of that Ian Curtis film on my mums road about 3 years ago, when i was still living at home. They closed the road for the day, and we all had to move our cars! His house was about 50yards from my mums house!

Nurrish, I admire your dedication, you certainly don’t waste time… :thumbs:

 

From the photos, it looks really good, certainly has a deep gloss to it... :thumbs:

The finish is alot glossier than i thought it would of been. Its a very deep black too.

When i refurbed my wheels black mate they look veryyyyyy glossy which i was worried about! But when they dry in properly it tones down. Looks like u done a good job tho buddy :teeth: Just as long as u have put loads of primer on it will be fine :)
