DIY: Black spray painted wheels (not stockies)

lol i hadnt even thought of that n it was like $7 a can

you can sand it but it will take a long time, i got the aircaraft stripper from advance
and yes it made the lips supershiny

Could the lip then just be clear coated and remain shiny with out worrying about constantly polishing it as fatdong suggested? I had picked up some cheap Nippon Racing rims for daily traveling and the lip has the "chrome" chipping off and I want to paint them, but I kind of like the accent of the shiny lip.

I'm sure that will work. Its worth a shot if you were gonna repaint them anyways

The wheels look great man. Not trying to be a jerk or anything, but could someone please explain the aquarium look to me? (no tint at all) I just don't get it.

could this be done in white?

Murdered out, looks good. I tried to do this to my stockies just to see if they would turn out ok. The paint started bubbling about 3 days after I was done.

You should use some paint prepping degreaser after your done sanding and before you start painting. Also, most paints tell you not to use them if its really humid out.
I know its an old post...
