    I bought paint today.

    Went down to VG auto's and was as fussy as hell picking out a colour i'd like to use. I couldn't quite get the same silver of the beemer wheels because they're very reflective and would need to be specially painted (black undercoat, silver transparent, clear) and it gets a bit expensive.

    It's only a phone pic, but here's the silver. ''Atlas grey''. Didn't even know it but I chose a VAG family colour!




    Should have wheels painted within a few weeks, just gotta pick up some spares to throw on for a while.

    Haha..fine, will do

    Currently, my wheels are definitely a flat silver. There is seriously no metallic or shine to them, which sucks! So naturally I'll want to get the most shine possible out of this little project
