…..if you need any advice let me know ill pm you my mobile number.
You WILL be fine as long as you use a bit of common sense.
* Clean wheels best you can. Dirt/tar/grease etc. Best to use a decent wheel cleaner spray like bilberry etc.
* Dry wheels best you can. Use a hair dryer after drying with a towel/cloth. Pay particular attention to the wheel rim/tyre valve and bolt holes.
* Best results would be to deflate the tyres to get playing cards under the rim around the wheel.
OR* Mask the tyres up to the wheel. Leave 1mm gap. (I sprayed straight onto the tyre. It peels off easy….
IF you spray it on thick. If its thin on the tyre it will be quite a long job peeling it off)
* Use IPA and a clean micro fibre on the wheels just before spraying.
* REMEMBER to have to caps on the tyre valves. (just stick the crappy black plastic ones on)
* If you have a hairdryer you can dry the paint between coats. I found that the suggested method - do a good coat and wait 30 mins before spraying the next one, the results were not as good as my method.
My Method. I sprayed a lot lighter than normal coat on the front face and then dried it straight away with my heat gun. Dont go crazy with the heat. Hairdryer will be fine
Then I did a very light coat on the inside of the wheel and dried it with the gun. I could then go back to the front straight away for another light coat and repeat.
I did this 3x before giving the front and back a good drying with the heat gun. I then had a brew break for 15mins.
I did All of the above 3x (so 9x light coats). Just keep going till you have used a full tin (you could maybe get more coats done)
It works best to do these light coats on the front, and then inside, so that way you dont run out of paint with a great looking front face and a patchy internal rim.
You could do all 4 wheels at the same time, but I did 1 wheel at a time. This way you know you use 1 tin per wheel.
HTH.
