Painted The Wheels...

[You_Wish]

LMK What Yall Think..

How i did it.. Took The Wheels Off Sanded Them Down With 150grit Sandpaper then i used ascitone to clean them off then heated the rims up too 130 Degrees then sprayed them with the advanced autoparts grey wheel paint and clear coat...

Yes There Is Overspray on the tires but i will wash that off once the rims are good and dry..

Hairdryer :dunno:

why would you have to rebalenced? And 150 grit seems a little rough, I always go 400, 600, then 800 right before clear coat* But, I guess it looks better... Do you have before pics?

yeah well the paint came off once they dryed up good... all i had to do is whipe them and the paint came off the tires...

[Dwisforme05]

i like the color.

you should have at least put some vasaline(sp?) on the tires to make them easy to clean up, or like everyone else said use index cards.
