bdh1987 Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 Yeah I seem them, but they are all like rusted wheels.... Basically wheels that ain't brand new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitch79 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Paint them as they are and I'm guessing you'd be able to scratch the new paint off with just a finger nail! The new alloy surface will surely be too smooth, lacquered, polished etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mplavery Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Just key the wheels and paint them mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 You need to give the paint a key to stick to so you'll need to scotch bright them first at the very least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dim Sum Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Yup yup same as above. Key it till the lacquer dulls then paint and lacquer. Job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
