Painted my wheels and badges

[jay32m]

I have been looking at new wheels for a while but I really don't want to spend the money now and I was tired of washing my wheels all the time from all the brake dust, I am very anal about my car being clean lol. So I have been playing with the idea of painting them so I finally got the guts to do it. I have done 3 other of my friends cars before and they came out very good and have lasted strong with no chipping or anything. Also while I was at it I painted my badges the same color to match the wheels so it would all match. If you are interested how I painted them I used everything mentioned in this video except that i did clear mine. Supplies only cost $25.00 and they came out very very good. I am very pleased and I have been getting nothing but compliments about them. Well enough talking and onto the pics. I am due for a photo shoot soon so once I get those I am gonna post them asap since my camera sucks.

How did you paint them and what did you use?

i used the duplicolor wheels coating which can be found at any auto parts store. I followed the steps in this video on how to paint them, hope you find this useful.

looks good, its actually amazing how rims can look by using a spray can, i did mine myself too and they came out great for the price
