Thanks rodster...not bad for a few rattle cans...
Here are the steps I did:
1) clean wheel
2) rough up stock paint/clear with 3M scotchbrite pad so that is looks flat.
3) Clean wheel
4) Make sure wheel is dry and free from any oils, even from your hands.
5) Paint with base coat...thin layer...let sit for a few minutes.
6) Second coat more heavy...but not too much to avoid a run.
7) Third coat Heavy coat again...make sure things are even...and let paint dry.
8) Spray clear coat on light...wait a few minutes and follow again by heave coats or until your happy. Again not too heavy to avoid runs.
9) let dry for at least 1 week
10) Wetsand if needed. I don't think I will need to...but I will be able to tell once I run my hands all over it. When you wetsand use a very very fine grit with lots of water. You can follow with a super fine "swirl mark remover" compound if needed.
Mount them, and let the tire dorks scratch the **** out of your new painted rims!
Drive and pit your new rims! (just getting that out of the way!
