Paint recommendation
Morning,

I'm looking at changing the colour of the wolf wheels on my penman trailer from to Black, planning on doing this as a DIY job but wondered if anybody was able to recommend the best paint for this.

Thanks Keith

I had some Wolf wheels painted by a local alloy wheel refurb place at a cost of £50/wheel. By the time you've bought the paint and put the hours in sanding and painting, it might be the easier option. Darren
