Default What is wrong with the paint on this rim?



Hello HTer~~

Does anyone know what is wrong with the paint on this rim~ I know that the previous owner painted it himself~ Is it because he did not probably sand it down that is why there is wrinkle~ And finally do you think if I spend time sanding it down I can paint it so it's all smooth and nice?

Thanks guys ^-~

Jess

definitely bad sanding, or it was painted to heavily or in bad temperature, just strip that **** off and redo it the right way

Use aircraft stripper to remove all the old paint, sand them smooth, primer them then re-paint!
