anybody know how to get a nice shine to the painted rims? mine are pretty rough after 2 coats of paint and 2 coats of clear

 

wetsand and buff

 

Yeah, I'm also curious on how to clean painted rims. I'm so scared for the coat of paint because they came out so nice, but they've become so dirty and waterspotted. I'm kinda scared to use wheel cleaner on it for the safe of something happening to em. What do you guys do?

 

the other guy wasnt talking about cleaning.

i use the same brush and soap to clean my rims that i used to clean my cars.
then i use Meguiars Quik Wax

 

Don't feel like searching but what's the easiest way to remove spray paint from my stockies?

 

you can just use aircraft remover to get it down to the bare rims. (that stuff real nasty though, itll burn your skin and take off or mess up anything it touches)

you could also use paint thinner, which will take more prob. (still a little damaging if you get it in places you dont want)

or you can sand it all off.

 

now that ive answered a buncha questions, its my turn. haha

has anyone found a spray paint thats reallllly close to the OEM color?

 

I'll try the aircraft remover and put some gloves on. Should it be fine if I got it on the tires?

 

yea, shouldnt affect the tires. it will start to tingle n burn if you get it on your skin though. haha

 

At advanced auto parts I've seen a graphite silver that looks pretty close to OEM color. They carry alot of OEM spec paints and can order any kind of color. Did you decide against buying stock rims again? Craigslist up here has a set for $400 w/tires. I need the tires so we could figure something out.

 

i have the 3.0rs - its pearl white! any suggestion on what color rims?

 

i need new tires too, i figured i would just buy the tires and repaint my rims, unless i find a good deal on a set of stockies. Which i havent been able to do yet

 

Im going to do mine in gloss black. And eventually do a lambo green lip.

 

ohh.. i think even with as many people who have done black, its about the only color that will look good with the pearl white.. cant say im enthused about the green.. whatever floats your boat, or moves your car

 

you guys think i should powder coat my wheels flat black?

 

I have a SW tC went with the flat black for my winter set and they look nice on any tC..

Oh! Dont get aircraft remover on your tires that green stuff stains bad!

 

i'm in process of painting my rims, I was wondering is it possible to just take the rims off without using any special tools? Like the 5 bolts on the rim, is it safe to take it off with the big metal tool that came with the car and the car ramp thing that came with the car or do i need to go rent it?
