Duplicolor Gunmetal & Black - post pics

[Digitalwave]

For those of you that have painted your rims with Duplicolor's Gunmetal or Black wheel paints, can you post pics of the wheels? Closeups preferably, but post up anything you have.

My weaves were done with Duplicolor graphite

MR325 What did you do to prep them before painting?

That looks beautiful, imho.

That does look great. I might do my throwing stars this color.

Mine are Duplicolor Grphite, ill get pics up soon.

I mine turned out too Black and not graphite. I put on a lot of coats for durability though.

i used 3 coats of black along with the dupli wheel clear coat (2 coats) came out sweet, holds up to brake dust great, only cost 26 bucks including prep materials (make sure to sand really well, i used a 300 grit wetsand, then cleaned it up with a 400 grit pad). i'll snap a pic of the rims tomorrow since they are off the car.

Did anybody else use the clear coat on their rims?

How long should I let the paint dry before I put masking tape on the lips? I don't want to leave any residue.

[DanGillan]

if your not in a rush, give it 24-36 hours, you'll have NOTHING to worry about then.

i didnt use any clear coat, but i think i will, b/c i dont like the rough feel.

[Digitalwave]

Using a clear coat or not should have no affect on the feel of the finish.

Dan, I'm not really in a hurry. I figured I would do that. Maybe even 48 hours.

[DanGillan]

right on, do it right once.
