Now I have something else I want to do!

Looks great! Did you wetsand &amp; buff the finished product?

ZephyrS4

I can't imagine doing that to spray paint and still having anything left.

hahaha, I think there was a lot of excess silver paint.

Mat Indukts Lambos

it seems he's been at it for a while, so, maybe?

I would need to do a lot more coats to feel good doing that.

Hibiscus Red S4

First I sanded down the whole wheel (all the chips/dents/scuffs etc) along with every surface on the wheel. Wherever there was bare aluminum, I sprayed some grey primer. I then sanded down the primer surfaces and gave it a coat of silver. Then I wetsanded that down with 400 grit WETODRY sandpaper, gave it 2 more coats then a few coats of clear. Came out great! It does take a lot of time and patience prepping it (sanding mostly) to get it right. Also, if you do it on a waste bucket, make sure there is no plastic bag in it as the static causes little dust particles to float up and onto the rim surface.

I used 220, 320, and 400 grit WETODRY sandpaper, for the record.

Same with the clear (had a little left)

I'm waiting for another can of both to arrive.
