Default Re: Black Wheels Complete

First I took off the spare and then jacked up and put jack stands behind the back tires, then took the off and scuffed all 3 back wheels with a scotch brite pad. Then I used oil and grease remover and wiped off the wheels and washed them with water. Then I blew them dry with an air compressor and masked off the wheels from tire and sprayed them with Duplicolor wheel paint, about 4 coats (only need 10 minutes between coats). Then I cleared each wheel with 3 heavy coats of Duplicolor wheel clearcoat. After about and hour there were dry to the touch and I started with the front wheels. Those were a bit harder because I couldnt get the jack stand anywhere underneath the front, so I did one at a time. Looking back I probably didnt need to mask the wheels off because any paint that dried on the tires cracked off and blew away with compressor. I will get more pics but I had to take some after I finished at 4:30 am. Thanks again fellas, wing
