Re: AP2V1 wheels on 6GA... look here!

they look good ken. And you can paint your rims fr under $15 and have it last. no need for "wheel paint" i just used rust o leum paint that said it adhered to metal, $3 a can. sanded(100, then 200ish) it down, clean, heat rim w/ heat gun, 1 layer of paint as a "primer", w/ higher(400ish) grit sound down that layer, then clean, heat up rim again and give it another coat(do that 5-6 times per rim), then heat up and clear(3-4 times per rim). let dry over night and you're done. done both my car and my dads. no chipping on either one and i've had mine since last summer.

why do u have to heat the rims up before every coat? :thinking:
