Quick update, I completely forgot about the centre caps of my alloys before deciding to go with anthracite, id previously removed the corrosion on two caps and repainted the chrome rims aqua blue pearl (body colour) to tidy them up a bit, any who thinking it'd look a bit pants all the different colours with such big centre caps I popped into halfrauds for some anthracite paint, I'm not expecting it to match but once I get the wheels they'll at least tide me over till I can sort something out if they really do look odd, anyway some progress pictures for anyone keeping an eye on here
The state of them before paint
How I was going to have them if I had left the wheels sparkle silver
Close up
Now in anthracite
The anthracite still needs its PU lacquer top coat but I'll do that next weekend once hardened and flattened as per instructions, I did throw a coat or two of normal lacquer over the colour coat just to enhance the shine a little once the PU clear goes on
