see ur point. they're sweet...  wonder if I can do that with my red tuff's?

[neiljonarcus]

ask paul db250  we done a set of blue ones for his kuw they looked mental

[pickle]

can't believe anyone would consider painting Tuffs?!  i should think most of us at some time have lost hours trying to scrubb off crappy old paint where someone did it in the past.

i can't see much wrong with them the way they are 

if you want em whiter then stick em in bleach for longer........painting tuffs is just wrong! 

[neiljonarcus]

from this 




to this 

[pickle]

what was wrong with orange?

out of interest.........how many of the sets you've painted do you still have?

[tigerbrown]

the paint neil uses is hard as fook!!

Any brake rub just cleans straight off

Painting is a last resort yes

But shouldn't be ruled out until you have seen the rusult with ya own eyes

People don't believe it when I say the ones I hot off neil are painted..

Not everyones cuppa tea I admit..

[neiljonarcus]

these were done for paul ..i have none i only paint 3 pairs  . i ask jackie to sell me my old ones back but the bitch won,t  

[pickle]

then you've answered your own question i guess

[neiljonarcus]

what that they are so good  jackie wants to keep them           agree total bummer

[pickle]

no........that you'll paint em

[neiljonarcus]

you are  right  . dont  get me wrong i would have rather kept them unpainted but  i need real white ones  so i will paint them and sort of resto them in a fashion ..
i might be right i might be wrong  . every one has diffrent opions .     


 sorry if i have upset any one by painting skyways  but in the end they will look nice 




i hope

Perfect example of how things can get misinterpretated in txt dudes

[moanjam]

there not done with a rattle can , i can understand peoples kneejerk reaction to 'paint' but this is as good as it gets and neil doesn't do 9 out of 10, so if its white the boy wants its either paint or £500 nossers 

[Mattdub]

Like others have said , bleach them longer .

They were'nt Dulux bright white when new though .

Nuts and bolts in the hubs.

[dordymush]

[jT Racing]

[neiljonarcus]

Horses for courses mate, they were never painted bitd so I don't see why you needed to paint them now.  Perhaps a media blasting rather than bleaching would have brought them up better.  From your pics they looked like engrained dirt affected more than anything.
