looks like ur off to a good start! i wanna paint mine too but its too cold right now

 

nice you have a white ssna?

 

sure do lol

its beautiful in florida lol

 

nice put em on your car so i can see what it looks like i have been wanting to do this forever

 

i have megan racing springs that im waiting to put on as well

 

surprise???

 

thats what ive heard. a guy in miami bought my hahn kit and he said its real nice down there all year. i hate snow, and would move if i could get a job that pays what mine does in a warm state

 

in for the surprise!

 

yeah i live right next to tampa and its really nice, it was so hot earlier then my shoulders got slightly sun-burnt but that was like 4 hours outside, usually you burn in like 20 min in the middle of the summer lol, also the roads here are mostly all good, no huge ass potholes and being at sea level is nice for the track

you will see

 

You aren't going heavy enough if you have 5 coats on and still have bare spots. Light coats are good, but too light will leave a "pebbly" finish. You need to put enough on so it can flow out smooth.

 

^ he's right. do heavier coats

 

Let me guess. Black spokes/white lip.
Lip will be another color since the lips wasn't painted?

 

should i put like 2 more heavy coats? but wet sand before

 

I'm doing this same project this week thanks to 4 flat tires that I am forced to replace. Anyway I have all my supplys ie: Dupli Color black wheel coating, Dupli Color clear coat, 1000 and 1400 grit wet/dry sandpaper and tape. I was told that I did not need to use a primer when using the Wheel Coating, is this true? Has anyone on the site ever used it before?

 

idk lol

 

you guys are doing wayyyyy to much work this is all you really need

1.scotch bright pad and scuff the rims up
2.put on 2 good coats of a good primer
3.lay on a decent not to think coat of black
4.put about 4 more layers on and let dry

iv painted i **** you not 18 dif sets of rims

 

update: finished, now all i need to do is get them mounted and balanced

No I do haha, a lot actually, I mean real as in like, its changed from just spraying stock wheels lback to an actual project
