Mostly prepped. During the second coat. Wet clear coat Done! In the sun In the garage Who's that sexy man? Wait till I polish them! I used one can of duplicolor wheel paint, and three cans of krylon clear. Total came to about $12. I'm glad I didn't spend $200 to get them pro painted.
Mounted and balanced the tires with out problems. Then waited till it was dark and took some horrible pictures of my really dirty car.(I'll take a few tomorrow) Gay twins posed in front of the camera. Like I said, shitty pics.
Man I was expecting to see some crapjob of spray painted flat black wheels like so many people do these days but yours actually turned out alright. You did a god job but more often than not painted stock wheels make the car look cheap IMO.
i think i talked to you about painting your wheels one night at sonic, right? glad to see you did it yourself. painting is all in prep work, if you did it right it should look good for a long time!
i've rattle canned a few sets of wheels now. it really is all in the prep work. proper sanding, priming, and coat application make all the difference. and those look great.
Yea, Jake was up till 5am doing mine the first time I met him. They still look good with the exception of a few chips, but that was over a year ago
Due to the amount of positive feedback and questions received I will be making a DIY thread on how to paint your wheels. I just picked up a set or wrx wheels that need paint and will be doing the writeup on them. Thanks guys!
