Excellent, nice job ! I can feel a sand and paint session coming on! If it ever stops raining........

Nice, what's the colour of the wheels? gunmetal?

PTR300

That's interesting idea and it doesn't stand out too much either..........is that standard wheel colour?

No, they are gunmetal, but I always hated the chrome centre caps.

It said "Anthracite" on the paint tin, the colour will vary though. I had a look at a load of wheels they'd done and picked this out. I had the option of darkening or lightening the colour by mixing it with black or silver - but opted for that.

Cracking on with the centre caps that I started this thread with..
I have decided to see if I can leave the metal cover on and repaint those rather than stripping them off and painting the plastic so here is the first one underway, loads to do yet so I will add pics over the weekend..

Stripping off the old stuff

What colour are you going for? (being lazy here).

Thinking I will do them silver to match the wheels but I wondered if I ought to do a contrasting colour.........so many decisions rather like yours actually!

I've bought some BOSNY Chrome spray with the intention of doing mine.

I did my radiator brackets in the cold and without much prep and the paint seems OK (obviously not chrome but a good bright silver) - I'm sure with better prep and a warm day it would look a lot better. The paint itself seems very similar to the Plastikote Enamel Chrome if you've ever used that before.

It's all good fun experimenting with different looks and finishes, not expensive either If you don't like it, try something else I recently tried to wrap mine in gunmetal wrap, but the colour was slightly off. So going to stick with the carbon wrap.
