Re: Black rims
so - who ever told me that the pro-white rims have a "buckle" in them [often] ... did he lie to me?
other thing just struck me- that juppy with the Subaru with the "effort on gold" rims, maybe I must have him read this thread - Black rims would look soooo cool on that blue Subi...

Re: Black rims
Russ I had a look at the different spares shop around here the Hammerite they sell is more a grayish black mixture than a true black, the tin says the outcome will be like the cap on the tin and the cap looks like work not done properly
Or must one maar just spray it until it is copletely black?

Re: Black rims
Jules spray a piece of scrap metal and see if the colour is what you want? You could also "cheat" by using a base coat of a darker paint?

Re: Black rims
Jules, hammerite come's in tow types of black.
1: Hammered black - this IS a true black but has a metalic finnish, and on some materials it will have the Hammered finnish which looks like tiny cracks. I used this as on rims it just comes out as a metalic finnish.
2: Smooth Black - this is a true black (like a satin finnish) , semi shine, no Hammered or metalic finnish, just good old black.
In my opinion, on a well prepared rim the hammered black is the answer.
