WRB looks sick white
i also used a wet sanding sponge and just hit it real quick. nothing special.
then i used some duplicolor paint prep spray so i didnt have to worry about blisters and fisheyes.
then i got the white wheel paint.
lined the outter rim with index cards
and sprayed
i didnt clear coat cuz if you do clear coats and you have to do touch up later you gotta strip the whole thing.
i have no probs with cleaning my wheels. except for a couple small chips they have held up very very well.

I just used 600 grit, nothing big, I mean I dont even really know what to exactly use.
So i wet sanded it with 600 grit, for about 15-20 min each rim.
Then cleaned it up. Layed two coats of primer down. Then applied two coats of the color down, and then 1 coat of clear, and lightly wet sanding with 800 in between coats.
so a total of two coats of primer, two coats of white, and two coats of clear.
I went to home depot and picked everything up. Was like 25 bucks. I got the Painter Touch cans.
