Well for those who knew what i went through with these wheels, i decided to paint the wheels before i sell them. It only cost me about 20 bucks and some elbow greese.

All four of them looked like this


And after sanding


Primier...


Color Coat...


Clear coat...


And this is the final result.






I suggest people to not be afraid of painting their wheels if they want to. Its not hard but just a lil time consuming. Results are great!

 

Very nice man!

 

rims are ok, but you did a very good job fixing them up.

 

Wow man. Very nice fixing up! Looks like new.

 

thanks man. These wheels were a pain, im gonna sell it and it wont be my problem any afterwards. Cant wait till i get a lil money from those and buy some light weight bronze rotas.

 

nice... it looks way better... good job!!! how long did it take you to do the whole process anyways? i'm guessing you've used duplicolor for everything....

 

good job, now we just have to get the wheels for the front put on fing02.gif

 

nice job!

did you sand rims befor painting?

 

Thanks for the great feedback.

jay_m05- well the whole process is not yet completed. i still have one wheel to do. for me, it was one wheel a day but im 100% positive you can paint all 4 in one day. I did it one at a time because the first one i did was a test, so if anything went wrong i would kno what to do different on the other wheels.
Yeah i used everything duplicolor- adhesive promoter, wheel paint, and clear coat.

majiktib- the front is pretty much not going to go on. heres the story....

Dmitry- the first wheel i did, i sanded the wheel a little bit. I later found that i needed to sand off all the clearcoat because when i priemiered the wheel, you can see the wheel crack/bubble. On the second wheel, i made sure there were no trace of clear coat left on the wheels before a priemiered.

 

wow! I like how deep into the wheel well those rims go. Look very nice. I almost wish I would have gotten those. What made you choose that color with a black car?

or are you re-selling them? hey, 20 bucks and some elbow grease probably just made you around an extra 200 bucks.
