DIY- Wheel painting

[4NDR3W_6THG3N]

Wow painting doesnt look that hard after all! I have those same 5 spoke stock rims. I'm getting black motegi rims in a few days. I'll definately paint my stockies so they still look good in the winter. Thanks for the idea!

did you spray the inside of the wheel, as in flip the rim and paint the opposite side as well?

I like how those bronze rims came out. Very nice. I wonder how long do those stand up against everyday use?

^50 bucks u cant do it urself.
that is crazy talk. give me 50 bucks ill take ur wheels off, give uer car a carwash, clean the engine bay.
heck ill even paint the rims 4 u lol
well i have a lot of road rash.
i was wondering if i could just sand that down since its aluminum anyways(i think)? would it come out right then i would paint.

i truly hope he meant tires otherwise

oh and your gonna need to put in a lot of work cuz sanding out the rash isn't that easy, sanding metal isn't that easy

^luckily i got a sander a lot of free time (h.s student)
wat grit should i start off with

an easier way to mask off the tire i used flashcards...i tried taping it but the tape doesnt stay on that well...I did mines in bronze and here's the result:

wat kind of bronze did u use(spray paint brand looks very sexy)
