    I just did a set of cheap BBS-knockoff wheels. Degreased & scotch brited (320 grit) the old paint (not down to the metal). Fixed severe Previous Owner curb rash by sanding off the high spots and filling in with Alumibond. Final cleaning with denatured alcohol. For 4 wheels, used 2 cans of Duplicolor wheel paint and 2 cans of Duplicolor clear coat. They came out really nice. Bottlecaps should be pretty easy - good luck.

    Do I LOOK like I need a psychological evaluation???

      I'll be doing my weaves in silver lips and gunmetal centers soon. I'm thinking 1 can silver, 2 cans of gunmetal, idk maybe clear if someone tells me it's necessary.
