Ok here's the first coat. I'm going to recoat in 70 minutes to make sure it's still flexible to give when the next coat dries. I think they're turning out really well.

What did you do for prep ? Did you lightly sand/scuff the chrome finish ? Be really interested to see the final assembled wheel, bet it'll look great.

I scrubbed the wheels down with a wet cloth to get any large bonded molecules off. Then a thorough sanding with 800 grit wet/dry sandpaper. I then wet clothed it again, waited for it to dry then dusted it with an old paint brush. I then primed it, and gave it 4 days drying time to harden and bond. Then a top coat wait 70 minutes, dust, then recoat. I getting ready to take a pic after the 2nd coat now.

Ok here's the finished product not on the truck. How do you guys think it looks? I will take a picture of the truck tomorrow in the daylight. I have tomorrow off!!!! Yeeeeeeaaaahhhhhh!!!!! God! Only 61 hours this week. That entirely too much for a guy even the French would call galently lazy!

Oh yeah the last pic is the products that I used.

Ok it's raining balls out here, but I took some pics anyway. I think it tones down the chrome an incredible amount. I also have a set of airboxs from my last one that I'm going to paint the same black with an air sprayer.
