Hey whats up? I decided to paint my wheels so i could look apart from the Hmm 10 or 20 1st gen tegs out there, lol
This isnt a how to, but a how I did it

Hope you all enjoy

First take the tire off bring it inside and warm it up, ( It was cold here )



Then I sanded them down and then wet sanded them down and polished them, "Do not polish the rims, I did weeks before hand to see how they would look but did not like them, primmer will have a hard time gripping to the wheel



And now do some masking, take you time on this one you want it to be pretty good




And now for primer, I used a whole small can of primer for this one wheel, I wet sanded the last two (2) coats also




And now for the paint, I sprayed a few light coats and then a few not heavy but not light coats




OH BTW, I sprayed some light coats of Dupli-color High Peformance wheel coating CLEAR COAT and then some heavy coats to come out to a nice smooth finish

Now take off the masking and take a step back and love what you just created



I left the lip of the rim like that so I could polish it
Should come out decent

And a pic of my car



All in all I am happy with the way it came out, This was my first time trying to paint anything like this so I am happy

It took around 16 hours to do ONE wheel, that included drying time for paint

So, What do you all think, Or


And yes I know she needs paint tint etc....
226,xxx miles and counting!!!!!!


Thanks,
