    It's a good idea to sand them if you want the paint to stay. If so, I would recommend a whole weekend of sanding, then using a primer, your color paint, and a sealer. Otherwise, it will only last a month or so.

    Looks very good. How did you paint them, did you sand them down and put primer on them or did you just spray paint them? Is there a more solid spray paint that doesn't get off?

    Ok, that is what I was hoping. I knew the new wheels were turning out to be a little to big and was wondering why he would ruin his chance to possibly return them. Couldn't tell from the pics.

    He bought the wheels from me and unfortunately, there's a no return policy. Anyhoo, I like how you kept the center piece silver, it looks great with the silver lugs!
