Looking to paint the wellers this weekend and have the tyres fitted next week!!!

[E.L.M.O]

Painted the weller wheels on Friday, as well as changed the wheels over so the misses mayfair is now on the revos, The pick ups now sitting on the 12" minilites until the wellers have the tyres fitted tomorrow.

I had them sandblasted, put a few coats of primer on then a few coats of some old black paint i had and then a few coats of the matt black. I am pretty pleased with the finished look!

I thought i would post some pics up of painting the wheels and the finished look










the misses mayfair back on the revos

Thanks mate. I'm looking forward to getting them on! Cant wait to see how it looks. I think It might need spacers though, as I dont think its going to fill the arches

I'm by no means an expert at painting! trial and error / learn as you go!

Hey man, Yup. Same arches that are on at mo, group 5 euros. So I will need to run a spacer to fill the arches.

Also is that a deep dish steering wheel i spot in the second and third pic? if so where from?

yup it is, i got it second hand. Dont know the name or brand. its the only 10" deep dish one i have seen for a mini. Its got a mean dish on it!
