   started looking into spraying my wheels an then quite impulsively started spraying today, took the wheel off sanded it down, sprayed a few light coats of primer an then started with matt black, i didnt think to take any photos before i sprayed the 1st wheel black but i will take some of the other stages for the other wheels, here is the 1st wheel which i think looks pretty good.

   Some new wheel bolts would look good
   Good job I think, I prefer matt black to gloss for some reason

    iv only used 1 can of each so far but have 2 more wheels to do, they feel like theyre about to run out, so im guessing im using 2 cans of each, the two i have done look good though

    cheers mate, it took me 3 days in total but it could be done in 2 full days, iv heard of people doing all 4 in one day but that would probably be too rushed
