sub1980s Posted October 15, 2017 Author Share Posted October 15, 2017 Found these in pick a part rusty. tyres taken off and dumped. had some lacquer paint off white lying around.added a little of yellow to it.dabbed a bit of paint on the rim where the tyre hides the paint , the colour close to old colour,as didn't want to paint them pure white. The wheels rims will get road grime, brake dust over in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
