Painting rims

[BlackMachDown]

So i swapped over my saleens to my 95 and decided to sell the r's but since they are a little scuffed up and need some love i decided to fixem up and paint em


as you can see they are ok, but kind of plain.

step 1 clean the crap out of them
step 2 scuff up with 400 grit
step 3 tape up
step 4 primer

finished

step 5 paint

step 6 clear


finished product


what do you think?

Wow! that looks real good. I've been thinking about doing this to my split spokes cause they're trashed.

What kind of primer did you use? Duplicor also? Are you going to be sealing them with anything? Wax?

 

[BlackMachDown]

i used a clear on them so its all good

and yes i used the high build sandable primer from duplicolor

the rims are sold so i dont know how long it will last but most people on other forums say that they will last for a long time as long as your careful with them ie no curb rashes and not using acidic wheel cleaner
