Tarting up my wheels

[AANDYY]

I have the standard 10 hole wheels, ewwwww.
So I can't afford to buy new wheels and also i have just shod her with new tyres, so I decided to tart the wheels up a little.
I couldn't be bothered to go the expenses and time and effort to respray them, so I hand painted the bad parts!
I used a silver machine paint and from a distance, no not about 100m, they don't look to shabby.

I think the previous owner never cleaned the wheels properly, the brake dust had 'burnt' in and couldn't be cleaned off, I tried all sorts, Ciff, thinners, carb cleaner, vinegar, you name it!

I didn't do the centre as I thought the hand painting would really show here.

I even painted my nuts..... Fanaar fanaar!

Nothing better than clean shiny nuts

This is the paint I used, I didn't buy it for the purpose I used it for, it was a left over from a job so I just tried it and it was sufficient.
