Default Another Painting Oem Wheels Thread.. 97 Prelude Base Rims

sup guys.. my g/f was sick as **** last nite so i decided to start sanding and priming my oem rims.. when i bought the car i noticed all 4 rims are curbed, but the front 2 were to death... i hated it so instead of buying new rims before winter time i decided to paint them.. i look through so many articles and tips on how to paint and just went with it..

Items Used: Duplicolor Primer
SandPaper
Soap, Water and Some wheel polish










das it for right now.. that was last nite at about 2 am.. they look pretty good .. just gotta sand them down a lill more and buy the paint and clearcoat.. Figure i go with gunmetal to get them looking like itr rims.. ight guys

Why didn't you just finish them before you put them back on the car. The paint dries faster than you think
