What do you use to thin the Hammerite? I ask because Hammerite thinners itself is really costly. :ohmy:

i use white spirit just a small amount
then when you paint it on it looks a
little grey but after a couple of coats
it looks like the wheel picture
pluss it dry's really quick

painted my car alloys same way 5yrs ago with no flaking yet :ohmy:

Thanks for the tips, guys! I'm happy with my standard track (no lift, no spacer) I don't want to do any modification. All I want just a little more serious look, which can be done by MT tires and black Dotz Dakar wheels. Cheers.

Anyway you've done a nice paint job!

MT tyres on standard silver rims is the best look

Black rims on an otherwise standard car always looks cheap to me.

Also 195s will work best on a narrower rim. 7" rims will make your sidewalls and tyre beads more exposed.

My last Jimny was pretty standard, I just got the rear 3 windows tinted, and painted the wheels with a brush, it looked pretty good.
I think it also depends on the colour of the Jimny as well.

I'm going to avoid 7". I think my silky silver jimny will look good with black 6" wide dakar wheels (and I know it won't be cheap as I'll buy new tires on new wheels)

3rd pic I want to achieve or something similar.
