   Hey
   
   Im planning to paint my wheels blue. (its a trackcar)
   
   but the likes of halfrauds only have silver/grey alloy wheel paint.
   
   Do I need to use special paint or is any spray paint ok?
   
   cheers

   + very dear!
   If you shop around motor factors your looking at nearly 50% cheaper. Got some primer from the local motor factor. 500ml can £2.99. Also you can barter them down! Or should I say I try barter them down...sometimes works lol
