Painted my wheels!

looks good for $12.00 but would have looked alot better sprayed with a gun. i think the aerosol has something to do with the orange peel look.

No doubt a gun job would have been better. You're always gonna have orange peel with a spray can. You could try wet sanding before and after clear but that has been a big for me on previous paint jobs. I'm sure TheBucky could tell us why. But, the orange peel really doesn't bother me on the wheels since there aren't many large flat surfaces. On the car itself would be a totally different story.

i paint cars on the side and i remember when i used a can. i would always have orange peel and dry looking spots when i used a can and someone told me it was the aerosol they put in cans. but now that can paint with a gun, i dont use cans.

I guess that makes since, I can't wait to get a spray gun setup!
