I'm mid refurb on my VT wheels.
And I started thinking. Should I wrap them rather than paint?
I've done the etch primer and am about to go to normal primer.

Also, as I have an inky, any colour recommendations?
I don't really want silver....

Anything other than trad silver imho could look ostentatious unless you colour-code with your inky paintwork and become a stealth coop laugh

I've still mine to do, and am struggling with the same thing.

Have a look on the bay for metal flake. I've been toying with the idea of a silver mixed with a fine, black, holographic flake. Give that a deep shine top coat and I think you'd have something OE until the sun hits it. cool

Well I've gone with a ford graphite grey.

I am splitting my time between a 1989 v12 xjs and the coupe so progress is a bit slow.
Also my photos are faaarrrrrr too big to load up. I'll hunt a file converter out.
