Got some wheel paint and have begun refurbishing the one wheel on my car that has curbing. Very pleased with the results so far.

This section of the wheel needs another coat. There was another part that had a massive chip that was filled with brake dust that was stuck on, I couldn't scrub it off, so it's been painted over and looked fine now!

Good job, looks much better :yes:

Ive got some paint to do my wheels too, just gotta find the time to do it. Gonna have to do all 4 of mine since I'll be changing the colour - hoping its not too hard to do!

i did a rear one and it looked good, you have to look very hard to see it. the other 3 are way past my capabilities.
