that's really nice. I'm not to experienced in painting but I'd love to learn. Did you have to do like wetsanding between coats or anything like that or did you just put some coats of paint on and a bunch of clear? Just curious.

Definitely looks nice, maybe should take some time and work on my corroded rims. Definitely sets a standard for do-it-yourselfers like us.

Thanks for all the compliments guys!

As for the painting basically I had them all clean and sanded down to bare metal in most places, aftet that I put like 3-4 coats of etching primer on them. Waited the appropriate time for them to dry totally. After that I painted one totally with the silver paint (no more sanding required) I put maye 4-5 coats of silver on and then had to wait 1 hour before the clear (both the silver and clear were special "wheel" paint so both worked with each other -duplicolor wheel paint at autozone or red rooster. So after the silver set in I put 4-5 coats of clear coat on and that was it. I waited maybe 2-3 weeks before I got the tires on just so the paint could cure some.

The allan heads were a paint in the arse. They are fake so you cant take them out- I tried that and one came out- had to glue it back on. SO I had even more fun putting small peices of tape over every single allan head so I would over spay onto their perty chrome color.

Oh well they look nice so its cool.
