Me neither.....

lol how do you find though though in all seriousness?

are they an absolute a-hole to keep clean?

Like a white car, a pain to keep clean

I haven't attempted yet lol! Dirt comes off v easily though, light brush of a finger would do it. maybe smooth hammerite surface doesn't like dirt? But you can see the dirt forming within a week.. so.. its not great..

yeah can't be arsed with that

is it wrong that i'm really tempted to go with the middle one of these 3?

Yes. Leave the gold to the Brimmster he will only think you're copying him . That is all.

hmmmm

oooohhhh

oooohhhh

Put the PC down and move away from Google.

Somehow that's reminded me of a dress the lead singer of The Gossip was wearing on Chatty Man. It suited her as much as it would suit your alloys, now behave!!

Put the PC down and move away from Google.

Yeah good idea.

You're probably right.

I mean you can't get a good idea looking at pictures anyway .......to B&Q and/or Halfords I go

Cliff.... PLEASE GO GOLD!!

Yes Sam... cos that'll convince me!

I've rushed through priming one wheel so i can do a test.....

but have also bottled it and had silver & black centres made up

Pah, don't be sheepish. Sparkling gold looks exciting

oooh sparkly!! Doo it! Would be ace on a sunny day

well a did take a trip to B&Q on the way home and the sparkly glitter stuff above is actually just a clear top coat with glitter in. I might be tempted to do plain colour and then use the glittery lacquer to add interest....

...that didn't stop me purchasing a test can of gold spray paint though.

Technically the lid said brass but it was more the colour i was after than the browny "gold leaf" and orangey "anique gold" options.

i also bailed on using the primed wheel as i'll have to sand the paint off anyway to finish the prep work so just slapped in on a wiped down bare metal wheel

Something so simple should not make a grown man smile so much!!

Hmmmmm....... that's not as ghey as I thought it would be.

This.......

it is not .....quite

Cant wait for the sparkly sparkly..

I think even for me sparkly gold might be too much.

Be interested to see what glittery clear coat comes out like though - might see if i can find a tin cheaper than the £8 B&Q wanted

just need a dry day at the weekend to see what it looks like on the car(s)

If you find a white/pearlescent glitter coat share the love, wouldn't mind adding more depth to the white

Oh, I guess you know already but if you do a few more layers (with sanding) the gold should come out deeper colour and richer (i've done something similar before and couldn't believe the difference between 2 coats and 5 coats).

I've seen a pearlescent clear coat in a craft shop. Don't think it will be heavy duty enough for wheels tho!

The gold's looking good Cliff

Great scott i'm impatient!!

Bestest thing or stupidest thing you've seen today?

Actually works really nicely.

I wasn't too sure on gold but it gets a thumbs up

Ooh yes that works!!

You wouldn't catch me having any gold on my car

I like 'em

Looks good. Weren't fussed on them in silver but like the gold.
