Pick up some dulux and you only need to paint it once





Glacier white sounds nice. Sounds like a toothpaste though.

I did mine in scotia white to match the body and they look great. Several coats of standard white (cheap to build up) under, 3 coats scotia white and
then laquer, baking is best, I didn't have access to a heat source for the wheels so they are going to chip.

TBH though, it wont really matter what tint of white you use unless you're going to be washing them everyday.

still not comitted to a colour of white yet. so you done 3 coats of primer paint and clear? wernt sure about how many coats of clear to do

wheels are painted and ballenced just have to paint up a caliper then they can go on the car. wasnt able to get them baked so they prob chip like hell but well pleased how they turned out
