    i've got a few hours till ace cafe, and im nowhere newear finsished on my alloys,

    i was planning on rubbing em down to bare metal becuase of the rain meant i couldnt paint them

    its taking me to long to sand them, so i might prime them up

    if it rains today, will the rain jus wash it off?

    if its dry shouldnt be a problem just sand down and give another coat of primer before paint mate

    dodgy man.. should never rush stuff like this ur gonna be left with a right bodged finish... the primer will still be soft and the rain wont do it any favours.. id definatley go back to square one when u return unless u want a dogged finished in the long run.

    as above really. Primer isn't water proof like paint and moisture will go through it to the bare metal below. You may get bubbling of the paint or corrosion. Best off rubbing the wheels back down again and making sure they're dry tbh
