Awesomeness, cheers ladies
And Dan!, I enjoy a FEFURB as much as the next guy :violin:
also, i've sanded back as much as i can prior to primer, is the route for spraying the wheel fairly similar to anything else, primer, sand, primer, paint, laquer?

Depends on how fussy you are. I used near enough 1 300ml can of lacquer per wheel. Atleast i can machine polish to my hearts content that way lol.
I'd say 1 primer per wheel,
0.5 colour per wheel
1 lacquer per wheel.
All of the above is based on how i did mine, could differ slightly.
