When you do the rest could you post a pic of them masked before paint? They look uber hot!

Yes, show us the masking!

ok iv'e mounted two of the wheels,

for some reason the second 2 i did came out no where near as good as the 1st 1 i did...
number 1 i diddnt give a good enough cover of paint but its barley noticable and dried really smooth and nice,
nuber 2 and 3 came out with a rough texture when they dried...v disapointing
any ideas why?
ive still got 2 more to paint and i want to get them right.

IF your painting it from a rattle can some times the pressure gets low and the paint spits instead of spraying smoothly. Other times the paint has sat and is too thick when spraying. To fix this and to get the best from a rattle can, is to place cans in a pot of hot water. You can do this over the stove but do not allow it to get to boiling. The heat transfer will build pressure in the can and also thin the paint out for a smother spray. I do this every time I use a rattle can and you will be amazed at how much better the finished product comes out.

Good luck
