Default Nice day so I painted my rims.
It was so nice out today that I had to do something to the mustang. It took about 5hrs for all of the sanding painting drying etc. I'm pretty happy with the results. I do plan on getting the RTR wheels by spring. Let me know what you think....

Looks 100% better! I'd save your money on the RTR's you just gave yourself new rims!!!

I used Rust-oleum High performance Wheel matte black. It took 2 cans and 1 of primer.

I do think i'll be satisfied for awhile with these wheels. I could use that $1200 that I would spend on the RTR's for some performance parts.

Looks good. RTR's will be awesome with that color, and get it lowered some too.

It does look like he did a good job, but I'm not a fan of the black wheels on red cars.
