Hi Ken, thanks, and yes it was all done with Aerosols. Lots of very thin coats, 1 can per wheel. I applied a burst of hair dryer after each coat, then 15 mins dry time, then repeat, until the can was emptied and the wheel done.
The matt black base was good quality so this of course aided the finished transformation!
Some better 'before' and 'after' photos below:-

They look stunning. Far nicer on the car than the usual silver grey... Nice job :)

Hi,

Epic job!

I have seen a few aersols advertise that they can achieve this type of finish, but have never actually seen any with this level of chrome finish, other than expensive multistage finishes that cost a lot to buy.

Great detail work on the centre caps too!

Kudos.

Kind Regards,

Eoin
