Blood on the axe

[Dom]

My winter wheels needed some rust sorting and general protection.
Cue a trip to Feu Vert (a smaller and more knowledgeable French version of Halfords).
"So, primer, primer... ah, white, yellowy white, grey, bla-OOH red oxide!" *YOINK*

What do you think? I'm going to do my summer wheels white so thought I'd have a bit of fun. I want some snow now for some cool "cartoon AX in white landscape" pics.









Not quite as dark in real life. Kind of ketchupy. I'm pleased with how it looks standing back, considering the prepwork I did and the cold weather. I kept the paint in the warm kitchen though.

keep the cans warm in a bucket of hot water works even better.

look smooth enought in the photos though

Painting wheels is a great way to spruce your ride, good work.

Cheers. It's the first paint job I've done apart from a tipo bonnet years ago. That didn't go so well.

All that cars need now is a beret and a string of onions around it's bonnet - can it be anymore French?
