One I used hammerite on a hand polished rim which has a stipply effect and sticks welll. The other I used scotch brite to dull the rim and mixed 2 types of paint (hammerite and normal rattle can paint which then crackled and veined...looks quite pleasing with slicks. Title: Re: repainting fake brm's Post by: roland on June 02, 2010, 11:45:12 am I got a couple of cans of wrinkle paint in a shop specialized in MG, mini and old english car parts in Belgium, so I guess that'll be even easier to find in the uk.. ;)
