Final stage - spray with lacquer
Here's the paint I used. It's all acrylic and bought off eBay. To paint seven wheels took two full cans of primer, most of two cans of the 5 Wheels Silver, and a can and a bit of the lacquer
And finally, here's one I did earlier...
Not quite good as new (maybe I should have tried some Cillit Bang instead!) but a big improvement. Comments welcome

Nice job on the wheel got to be a lot better than rust and silver well-done.
Keep up the good work.
How about a photo of the wheels on the jimny.

Here's the wheels fitted on a freshly washed Jimny
Oh and I tried closing one eye and sticking my tongue out when I sprayed the first wheel, but never again - the taste of brush thinners to get the paint off my tongue wasn't the tastiest thing I've ever tried :sick:
