      Is that rattle can? Sure IS!

      This past weekend Gaurdian and I painted my rota c8's.. We used Dupli-Color "High Performance Wheel Coating" for the paint and clear. Got ahead of myself and picked up two cans of some shitty sealer primer from wal-mart.. We think if we would have used the Dupli-Color primer the wheels would have turned out even better...
      what we did was....
      2 coats sealer primer
      2 coats paint (it really depended on the wheel, the rota casting has a lot of imperfections it then.. not to mention the mal-mart primer was garbage)
      1 coat wet paint
      1 coat clear
      1 coat wet clear =

      Did you remove the original black coating at all beforehand? Like aircraft stripper or sanded it?

      That stuff works awesome. I had a set of Borbet BS that came with my girlfriends old car that were kinda beat up. I stripped em down and painted them with the same paint, turned out awsome. Only thing that managed to take the paint off was when my friend forgot to tighten up her caliper bolt and about 2 hours from home (on the way home) the caliper bolt let go and it was rubbing on the inside of the wheel.

      Cant wait to see pics mounted though.

      No, just removed the "gloss" finish with a skuffing pad.. just a lot of elbow grease

      Nice, I may paint my stockies in the gunmetal finish. Keep us posted on how well the paint holds up. It looks good! :)
