Experimenting with some wheel painting

[SouthernHoe]

I played around with one of my aluminum wheels yesterday. Instead of wet sanding and polishing I opted for something a little less maintenance wise. I used the duplicolor etching primer and their "Stainless steel" colored wheel paint. I wanted a satin aluminum look. While I had it off sanding, painting, etc... I went ahead and taped off for the black plastikote and did a test run on it. I like the way they came out and will probably remove it, then paint the black with some satin enamel and do the other 3 the same.

Also repainted center caps and drilled/taped the 3 holes to accept nicer phillips screws instead of the rusted allen heads that are Were in there.


Let me know what you think!

Well I thought I'd never finish but got them all done this weekend. Got about 16 hours in them
