Man how long does it take to paint four wheels?

it takes about 2 and a half weeks to do one wheel plus the corsework has to come first and needs good wether to spray as matching lungs and and wheel is not a good look

 

[Huggy444]

Don't start me on coursework, it's a bastard.
All mine which where rusty wrecks, cheers Andy , took a day to do

how the hell did u manage to do them in a day

 

[Huggy444]

Didn't take to much care and no hubcaps I guess... Only rally wheels, would have been a solid 8 hours I guess but spread over a weekend i think

They still look OK, but up close you can see a tiny bit of rust coming through on 2... Doesn't bother me anyhow
