Re-painting wheels

Postby JT » Wed Feb 09, 2005 2:25 pm

The paint on the spokes of my rims is looking abit worse for wear. They have been painted previously as you can see a different colour underneath so whoever did it didn't do a good job. I'll just grab a spray can or 2 but any pointers on which is the best to get? Is it worth grabbing a can of clear to coat them with too?

I've got an abundance of sand paper at home so don't worry ill have them nice and smooth and free of all previous paint.

The pic in my profile makes them look alot better than they are :?

Yeah go the powder coat. Then get a clear coat like Nyalic over that, It will shine good and brake dust comes off so damn easy.
