I painted my wheels this weekend. I think it looks great. I used Graphite duplicolor wheel paint and put some clear on top. I'll see next weekend how it holds up. Ive already had several more head turners in traffic than I used to.
Thanks... I cleaned them up real nice w/ simple green to make sure they were dirt free. Then I put paper towels covering the tires... used maybe 8, then I taped them down around the rim. I used a razer blade to trim the tape off of the rim and leave the rest. Then I scuffed it up some w/ an 800 grit sand paper. I took the nissan emblem off the center cap (snaps on from the back) and sprayed a light coat. I let it dry about 15 min and sprayed another light coat. Then on the 3rd coat I went slightly heavier and very even so that no dark spots would show. I let that dry about 15 min and started spraying the clear. Do this the same way.. light coat+ light coat+ final even coat. Then be very careful and put the wheel back on. If you arent careful the tire iron will scratch the paint while its still semi wet.
Over the last two months I've been thinking about painting my wheels, but have not really done anything more with it. I would go black or a graphite color like ben's. I love seeing suv's and trucks with that color wheel. I'll let you guys know if I ever do it.
Man... I love the way that looks... Thats how I want my wheels to look... I hate to copy what you did and do it on mine, but hey... I just might have to... I love it but I just don't know how it will look on the Storm Grey... Aces to ya man...
