   decided to spray my VTS alloys and took some pics with my phone so there not the best quality.
   
   
   after i have wet and dryed them started to mask them up with insulation tape so i could get right into the gap between the tyre and alloy.
   
   
   
   took me an hour to one so went to Nigel Davies Tyres on Doncaster road in Wakefield and got him to pop the tyres off the beads so i could get right up to the edge of the alloy when spraying them
   then used Chemical Metal to fill in all the holes and chips and runbbed them down again then masked them up
   
   
   
   then sprayed them with Etching Primer then normal primer, using a Tack Rag in between coats

   will get some more pics up tomorrow with a better camera and hopefully get them laquered and on the car in time for the meet at Xscape.
   
   big thanks to Landy for the help and running round when i ran out of paint.

   they will look nice, no doubt about it BUT they are sooo common now. i would have gone with something different.

    did get Peugeot Cassack Grey but after Landy told me that it was the same paint Leckie had used went back and got some Vauxhall Steel Grey.
