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.

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!
