    Default Wheel strip/paint job

    I have a old set of 15 inch wheels with tires that has like 2 layers of spraypaint on them and that is taking me forever to strip! how much would you charge to strip all of the paint off and paint them a gloss satin black with a red lip? They are dinged up so they wouldnt have to be perfect! Here is a picture of them!

    i dont know if is worth it to you but the whole process of stripping the wheel than primering it and painting it time atack is a very time consuming process. something of that nature would run you around 200 a wheel.

    Wow, never mind that. What if you just primer it & paint it the colors I want? Will your paint stick even though I have other coats of spray paint on it?

    it may or may not i cant guarantee it will because once a certain amount of paint that is already on the wheel gets covered with a fresh coat it tends to breathe and when that happens the new paint on top starts to either crack peel or flake.
