DIY - Guide to Paint your Wheel Caps

[saubhagyab]

Hi guys

I am planning some DIY for my I10. I would really like to have some suggestions.

What all I am planning

• Painting the Front chrome part to matte black.
• Painting all the rear part chrome part to matte black (including the logo, magna i10 everything that is chrome ).
• Painting the ORVM's to matte black too.
• Wheel cover to something like below

Please provide your inputs.. I am planning it for next weekend.

I planning to use Car Auto Universal Spray Paint Can From Kobe~Flat Black. Is this a good paint to use or suggest any other brand which I can use.

What else would I need apart from these please help. Thank is advance..

I am so excited..

Hey man! Sure you can paint the chrome part on the front and back, Already done on my i10. Try debadging the logos too on the back and smoke your tail lamps. Since the roof is already black I think it's gonna look hot.

I don't like the vinyls on the side, it's killing the look. Why don't you try putting on the stripes from front to back starting from the vinyl positioned in the hood. Keep the black and white theme going on. Cheers!

An Update: Removed all the Wheel hubs and cleaned them.





Next Stop sanding them after they dry up..
