So here are some process pics biggrin.gif First - reminder of how my wheels looked then i bought them:

They there repianted already into the silver - they where White in color originally... Just in case - these are Volk Racing Daytona.

I found a wheel shop that managed to polish the lips of the wheels, and clearcoat them with special clearcoat for aluminium, so after i got them back, i started to sand sand sand.... Covered the polished lip so that it aint got scratched. After long sanding - shooted 2 component primer, and it was back again to sanding with wet 1000grit... damn my fingers heart biggrin.gif

Started masking the lips again to avoind paint hitting on them:

After all the masking was done - it was time for the damn paint on witch i was debating so damn long....

I chosed HOK gun metal grey pearl and i think i vent right way biggrin.gif Here they are in all the glory + i added Rays / Volk stickers to them to make these wheels look more modern wink.gif
