Ok was pretty bored today didnt wanna waste gas so this was my project for a couple hours, Basically I just found the color I wanted which wash Bronze. Went to local paint stop and picked up some wheel paint. Washed down all my wheels with soap and water no oil based stuff, prepped the wheels. Than began to paint. Put about 3 coats on and let them dry than wet sanded the wheels than applied more paint. Everything took about 5 hours to get them how I want them. Than I washed my car and wheels. Here are a couple night pics of how they turned out. I love my car so much more now.





I will post pictures tomorrow during the day. ENJOY!

 

They look fantabulous. Good job!

 

great job! looks like they came out real nice.

 

that looks damn good.

 

nice job...

 

Paint them centercaps!!

Other than that, bronze es bueno.

 

sorry to sound stupid.... but what is wet sanding? And why sand after painted?

 

wet sanding means using wet/dry sandpaper to remove the unevenness of the spray paint. It basically leaves the surface flat for a better finish.

 

looks great. awesome job.

 

moved to tread and butter

 

did you use aircraft stripper to remove the clearcoat on the wheel first before you paint?

 

prolly only needed to scuff the paint so it will not peel off...
stripping is the extreme (and best ) way to go

 

looks good! JDM!

 

yee

 

Why does everything get called JDM?


Anyway,
It does look good. I wonder how well the spray paint will hold up.
I need to see a pic in the daylight. I like it so far...
How hard would it be to remove the paint if you were to change your mind?

-THE DON

 

get some day pics man. They do look good so far.

 

Damn, I thought THE DON stole my favorite smiley. his= mine=

 

Those look really good.

 

i really like that, what kind of paint did you use?

 

Used Adhesion Promoter and Dupli-Color Wheel Paint, Same company that makes the Colored Caliper Paint. So far so good, I have noticed it attracts dirt a little more but, I just wash them down with soap and water and dry them. I already have had a couple compliments on them. Ill post day pics when i goto lunch
