Alloy paint

[wizard101sco]

Afternoon All,

I'm searching for yellow paint for alloy wheels. I've got black alloys with a yellow strip running around it (Apparently call a coachstrip)

They came with the yellow rim however need to give them some tlc and would rather try myself before spending aroun £250 for someone else to do it.

Anyone know where I can get some or what I can use as alternative alloy paint.
I can only seem to find black or silver.

Cheers in advance

as far as i was aware... you can paint alloys with normal paint that you would do bodywork in.

My bmw's wheels were painted in mercedes silver... and i have done a few friends in ford purple... so as long as the prep and primer/keying is ok... youll be good to go.

make sure you laquer afterwards matey...

Yeah any paint is ok as long as you clear cote em.

clear coat isn't always needed depending on the paint

I'm gonna be having a go at mine when I've moved as will have a nice big garage lol. Have a platinum grey car and thinking about black wheels but I did see a car the other day with lime green wheels and that got me thinking lol. Does anyone know if glow in the dark alloys are legal? Lol

lol quality. .

stages i done mine in were
1 de grease wheels
2 scotch the wheels untill nicely keyed up. takes a while but the longer the better
3 de grease them again
4 primer
5 paint, few coats
6 laquer, few coats

i done mine a few summers ago so took advantage of the sun and left them to "bake" for a couple days. if not a warm room with the rad on will prob be ok. you need them to set before putting them on or stones etc. will eat away at the paint.
