Fiesta Mk6 Project - Alloys Sprayed - Silver To Black

Featured Replies

Thought I'd get started on making the Fiesta look a bit more "me".....spent the weekend spraying the Alloys from Silver to Black. Done the old fashion way, rub down/primer/gloss/lacquer and got to say it doesn't look half bad.

Thanks :)

Knew that would be coming lol wanted to leave them to dry overnight before I cleaned the wheels.... Will post a pic once this desert sand has cleared and all is clean :)

Did you do them with the tyres still on?

I took the wheels off the car, but yeah the tyres we're still on the rims, used a piece of cardboard between the tyre and rim to stop the paint getting on them..... It's just the dust from sanding that's making them look like that.

Now she's all cleaned up! :) next step is to colour match a few parts, side mirrors, front grill etc. and make the plastic parts actually black again.....then get some Black/Orange DMB Gel Badges....then tint rear windows and i'll be happy!
