Wheel hubs

[caledonia]

Couple of tins off silver wheel paint from Home Bargains. Pull the hub caps off, give them a good clean lay them on the neighbours lawn and empty the two rattle cans onto the 4 hub caps giving it a couple of minutes between coats and hey presto, like new. No faffing with plastic primers or 2pack whatever just reconditioned trims

I'd agree with Tezza for sure... wheels painted black (doesn't have to be a fantastic job - just wash clean, let dry and spray. Then trims silver (after wash and dry) and jobs a good 'un.
(not sure if I would bother with etch paint and laquer though. just silver paint on trim and black paint on wheels)


One comment.... If you do prime first, get a grey primer and avoid the white ones completely. I don't know what it is about white aerosol paints - both colour and primer - but they clag up and splatter. and I have had that on many brands over many years whenever I have decided to try "one more time". Grey just works!

Cheaper to buy new yins and put the old ones in the fire.

Just need them tidying up a bit. I've had a quick scan round on t'internet but struggled to find any.
Reckon if I can just spray them with a suitable paint instead to tart them up a bit... ?

Yes Well forget the WD40 an a stiff brush Tezza33's paint is good just done mine with it
