Not sure if this is the best place for this, but it is an appearance mod. This is being copied and pasted from a different forum, so Im going to be editing some of the text, so if something doesnt make sense thats why.

"Well Im painting my wheels but I dont have an extra set, so they are being done one at a time. While swapping the donut on and off. Finished the first one yesterday.


Sorry I didnt take a picture of the wheel before hand, but its a basic Daisy.

The stuff I used, Dupli-Color Adhesion Promoter, Filler Primer, High Performance Wheel coating, The only clearcoat I saw. All of this plus the chemical stipper, less then $40.




I was very impressed by the chemical stipper, these are after just a few minutes.



The directions say to scrape and hose, so I did. I was alittle too eager so I stripped it twice.

The insides of the wheel was nasty

Second stripping

Since I didnt have note cards, but I did have lots of news paper, I masked it off with paper and loads of masking tape. This part was a pain in the back. The Adhesion Promoter wasnt easy, its clear and dries fast. Making it hard to see where you've been

First thin coat of primer.

Little more primer

Primed

First coat of my color. Lots more flake then I had assumed

Apparently I didnt take pictures of the middle coats of color. Colored

Stripper has dried, been wipped down. Noticed some flake from the inside had collected on the outside.

Some primer

Looks like I skipped the middle priming, heres the final.

First coat of color.

Second.

Last coat of color, and clear coats, and masking removed

The before and after pics I used have disappeared so here are some different ones that dont work as good.

Great job! Those wheels look absolutely brand new! I did this with my stock FD wheels and had similar results, it's really a lot easier than you would imagine.

This is what I plan to do with the 949 Racing 15X9 6UL's I get.... Only I'm doing them in Duplicolor Copper. The cage will be the same color BTW...

yeah that copper is a nice color
