sanded down with 3 different grain sand paper, primered, then sanded down again, then 4 coats of semi shine black and a couple coats of clear... all that work and they came out good but i think i would have got the same results with half the prep... oh well im happy =)

tc wheels and calipers painted black

Took alot of prep work to get the rims done me and my buddy got the wheels done in 8 hours, and it took me about 6 hours to paint all the calipers and the face of the brake rotors. My buddy at work has the wrk sti wagon did the same thing to his wheels.

Has anybody Heard of or used VHT Polyurethane Wheel Paint? Was gonna go with Duplicolor and put on many coats... but then I found this, and it comes in a gloss black =)

If not, I'll stick with the reputable Duplicolor.
