Painting banded steels the pikey way (now on car) - Dave26 - 05-05-2013

Started on painting the banded steels today. Will probably have them refurbed properly before fcs. For now I fancied matte purple. Think I'll have the roof vinyl'd to match.

Literally all I did was buy the paint, clean the wheels, mask the wheels, spray the wheels. Proper job.

Masked up:

Fairly happy with that for a rattle can job.

Just doing the rears today, need to get new tyres on the fronts before I do them. Suggestions for tyres? 195 like the last pair or 185 for a bit more stretch?

You'd be best to give them a bit of a rub down first.

RE: Painting banded steels the pikey way - kingy - 05-05-2013

Meh it's cost me £18 and they needed refurbing anyway! They'll probably change colour again before fcs.

RE: Painting banded steels the pikey way - kingy - 05-05-2013

Can't fault it! Painted a bmx with it a couple of years ago, completely forgot this was what I used. Bought a few different nozzles too, gives you plenty of options.

RE: Painting banded steels the pikey way - Arron - 05-05-2013

Should of masked your valve caps off buddy! Looking sweet tho !!

RE: Painting banded steels the pikey way - Eeyore - 06-05-2013

looks good! Big Grin

RE: Painting banded steels the pikey way - Dave26 - 16-05-2013

Right wanting to get tyres on these asap, thinking rainsport 2's and sticiking with 195s. On blackcircles they are £140 for a pair fitted. Sound about right?

RE: Painting banded steels the pikey way - Matt - 16-05-2013

Are they not on yet! Hurry up Tongue

RE: Painting banded steels the pikey way - cwspellowe - 16-05-2013

How much?! I paid £130 for four tyres delivered and about £30 fitting when I bought RS2's a couple of years back. That's extortion!

Hold up.. are they 15's or 16's? If they're 15's, get them here Clicky

RE: Painting banded steels the pikey way - Curt - 16-05-2013

Did you key them though? It's worth it if not...

RS2's are £33 each on Camskill for 195/50/15's

RE: Painting banded steels the pikey way - pistolpete007 - 16-05-2013

They look good, good colour too

paid that fitted and balanced and inc the charge to dispose of the old tyres Smile

RE: Painting banded steels the pikey way - Pompey306mark - 17-05-2013

Look on camskill and just take them to get fitted at a garage normally charge £20-£25 to fit 4 tyres.

Rainsports are on offer on camskill I think.

Love the colour, like matts old wheels on the XSI

Very true. But tight wheel bolts are over rated right?

RE: Painting banded steels the pikey way - gretsch-drummer - 17-05-2013

For the protection/hardness pleeeeeeease at least get a can of matte lacquer or you'll be seeing the paint flicking off while you drive. (well it will anyhow as the surface wasn't scotched etc)

RE: Painting banded steels the pikey way - Dave26 - 18-05-2013

Cheers for the links guys, looking at 45's not 50's so looking at £50 a corner on camskill or £48 on allnewtyres. Hmmm.

You underestimate the epicness of montana gold paint sir. ..

Its acrylic for a start and has been designed to stick to f*cking anything as its graffiti paint. Plus it blends itself if you do touch ups.

Trust me, my entire car's painted in it

My wheels were painted properly...


Wheel bolts on the other hand, who needs them tight right?

RE: Painting banded steels the pikey way - maguire1992 - 21-05-2013
