i have a spare set of alloys i have bought off a mate that i want to refurb and stick on my motor in place of the crap corrorded ones that are currnetly on .
i have cleaned em up and had em bead blasted ready for painting , now i need help ....
i'm well aware of powder coating and anodising but this is too expensive for my wallet , especially with transport costs ...
i want to do a diy paint and lacquer job , in something reasonably durable , was thinking maybe plasticote ??
do i need to etch , or prime before painting , if so what do i use ?
also never painted on plastic before and i need to paint the centre caps the same colour so how do i paint plastic centre caps , do they need some kind of etch or primer too ?
advice very welcome
