Last month Excellence magazine had a great DIY writeup on painting and repairing wheels. I followed it this weekend and it was perfect. Wheels with no curb rash and new paint and clear. Check it out.

Thanks guys!

Again, the prepwork is the key. I spent a lot of time cleaning and sanding them down.

The actual painting, only took an hour or so.

I used Krylon Acrylic and found the Flat Clear at WallyMart.

The key it to take your time and not rush it. Put on thin coats so you don't get any runs.

That's it! I'm painting mine. Although it may not look as good as yours since my car is black and it may just bee too much.

Brando, you're going all out on the DIYs, lol. That looks really mean (in a good way). How about you paint my wheels black & I paint your center console seal grey?
