painted my wheels today, pics Options

[Batman722]

When I bought my car it had the 14" with hubcaps so I bought a set of stock GT wheels off a local and they were OK. They were rashed and dinged up a bit so I finally had the opportunity to paint them. I thought about doing gunmetal but I want it to still look stock so I stuck with the silver - and it was a perfect match - they look brand new. anyway, pics

taped up and paint ( no clearcoat yet )



painted and clearcoated



the pics really don't do them justice. They shine next I need to buff them and maybe wet sand them.

I should of taken a before pic they used to be peeling and a little darker in some spots ( after I would clean the brake dust off, it looked like it was still there )

go mad with the clearcoat... i painted 2 of mine last spring and needless to say i did not use enough clearcoat. the wheels pick up tons of dirt and crap and they already are looking iffy... the only unaffected parts are where i really overdid it, or so I thought, and now they look normal and havent aged because the excess spray smoothed over
