How to paint your wheels.
Materials Needed
4-6 cans of paint in your choice of color
1-2 cans of Rustolem White Primer
1 can of Rustolem or other brand clear coat
1 large roll of masking tape
1 8 sheet package of fine grit sandpaper
1 Jack and 2 Jackstands
1.Remove wheels from car it is easier to do 2 at a time so jackstands will be needed.
2.Wash them with some water and soap until all dirt is gone, then dry completely
3.Use a fine sandpaper and sand down all surfaces to be painted. You need to get rid of the clear coat. If silver they should become a powdery looking silver/whitish color.
4.Mask of the tire and all places that you do not want painted.
5.Use a White primer, it makes it easier to see where you have already painted. Apply 2-3 coats and let dry completely between coats.
6.Apply 4+ coats of paint making sure to use light layers at first and then build up to the full coats for an even finish for the last couple coats. Make sure to let them dry thourghly between coats.
7.After the paint is dry apply 2 coats of clear coat for extra protection.
8.Allow to dry for about 30-45 mins before re-applying to the car.
9.Repeat for the other three wheels.
10.You are all done, great job.
