Can of wheel paint. Didn’t even prep the wheels,just masked and painted. I don’t care if it flakes off because I wasn’t sure if i’d like it or not. But I do like how they turned out and will do it again when I have time. Don’t mind the duct tape on the front and rear, it keeps my bumper on lol ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y174/sedlmeier101/DSC_0001.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y174/sedlmeier101/DSC_0001.jpg) ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y174/sedlmeier101/DSC_0002.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y174/sedlmeier101/DSC_0002.jpg) ---

:word: im a fan of spraying wheels too… cheap, easy, quick, and you don’t get pissed if they get screwed up because it is cheap, easy, quick to fix 😛 i’ve done it on my last 3 cars with many different sets of wheels, don’t think anyone has ever noticed the difference. ---

Probably some springs to drop it a little (i can’t justify coils just yet) I’m going to have fun with this car 🙂 ---

i have both sets sprayed on my camaro, i cleaned them really well, sanded them a little then bought about 6 cans of family dollar black and coated them up good, the only time they chipped was when they were on the tire machine and where the wheel weights used to be, but if you prep them good and coat enough layers it should be good. ---
