Well today i was messing about with some cheap alloys i picked up,stripped them down , primed and then looked in the garage to see what paint i had,i found a couple of tins of metallic copper so i thought why not just to see what they looked like.
Now i was surprised at the results, they look really good the paint has a very small flake that glitters in the sun and i am now wondering whether to go the whole way and change all my chrome for copper-the problem being i still like the black and chrome
Anyway a few pics i took,it was only a quick go so i know it looks a bit rough in places but it gives a good idea of what the finished colour looks like.
pics dont show how shiney it is and they havent been lacquered yet
The center caps with some nitromoors on
stripped , sanded and primed
the wheel sanded and primed
and finaly painted
