Well today I made a start on Plasti Dipping the wheels - unfortunately because I decided to run a half marathon this morning I only managed to get two of the four done!
Was remarkably easy to do and would recommend this product to anyone! I should get it finished tomorrow and transform the look of the car
Here are the pics of progress so far
PlastiDip Cans from eBay

Front wheel removed and washed - its not in a brilliant state and needs a refurb but I dont have the £300+ required at the moment!

I used a heatgun and a pan of boiling water on the paint as the ambient temp is pretty low here in Lincoln
