Painted my wheels this weekend w/ pics
My wheels were looking a little rough. So i decided to paint them.. I have always really liked Black satin wheels over chrome.
Materials:
Then i sanded them using a sanding wheel and a drill.. then some sand paper for the tough to get at spots.
after i washed them again with simple green, and then used the acetone.
Taped them off. Put 4 coats of primer and 3 coats of caliper paint. 1 can of caliper was just enough. Ill add some photos after they dry and are on the machine.

pitting and rashed up...
