Painted Rims

I painted my rims this weekend. Used Dupli-color Engine paint and Clear. Sanded them first.

Wow, that looks exceptional. For the first time, I'm a fan of the fan blades.

Cleaned the rims first with degreaser. Then I just sanded it with some 100 grit sandpaper when it was dry. Made sure to wipe it down well again. Taped off the tire and started painting.

Nice work...I had mine powder-coated for about $400.00 bucks, and yours turned out just as good...
