a local (traditional) sign writer
no word of a lie, he was called BOB the brush

£30 or £40 quid, I think from memory...
just for the yellow bit

He made a cracking job of them. Got a mate who's pretty handy with an airbrush so looking to get him to sort the logos. Did Bob the Brush use heat resistant paint for the logos or doesn't it matter?
Cheers

he used a 2 pack paint, I had one slight issue after 2 days, i put some acid on to clean the wheels, strong stuff and I noticed it started lifting the yellow on a letter, washed it straight off and touched it up, Ive never used the stuff again and they are still all good, even after numerous track days. No discolouration or lifting

Cheers for the info. I'll stick to Bilberry for cleaning the wheels then

I would mate, I dont know what I was thinking putting the heavy duty stuff on

The guy who's painting the logos is going to do it with a brush so I'm trying to find a suitable paint to do them. Was thinking hammerite smooth or this stuff

Did you get you mate to paint them in the end or give them to a sign writer? they look awesome

Deezer-D · 09-01-2011, 10:08 PM

My mate did them. They were brush painted with Hammerite smooth. He said they were a bit tricky due to the slightly bevelled edge to the letters and the Hammerite was quite hard to work with as it's quite thick. He did 4 thin coats leaving a day between each coat to dry.
