Rims were painted with dupont white ceramic spray paint, then given a clear coat. The steps were pretty easy, sand off the old crusty paint, apply primer, then two coats white, then two clear coats with time to dry between each coat. The emblems took the longest with the acrylic red white and blue. All in all, it took about 2 to 3 days.

As for the cheese graters, I kinda like em, they are not made by anyone anymore and less and less people have them.
