My fingers hurt... Wheel Refinish

[Jand3rson]

Nice work, those looks pretty good. They need a red stripe around the lip.

a project forum thread on how to spraypaint your wheels?

It's a project forum, Mike. That's what it's here for. Granted, it should have gone in the wheels/tires forum, but oh well.

primer eh? i sprayed a couple sets of wheels, and i find that if you sand the origional paint on teh wheel, then spray your color of choice, it stays on pretty damn good.

I sanded

Then primered and got one for use on bare metal/gloss metal... Something designed for it :) hehe

Have you found a place that sells the Fittipaldi stickers? If you do, let me know. ive got a set of Fittipaldi Aeros by OZ and i ahve not been able to find any stickers.

[dinanm3atl]

Gonna put Roundels on them. I don't think the exist. The center sticker has a middle metal piece that sticks to the center cap and then the decal was on top of it. 1 of my metal pieces was already gone and no stickers were left. I removed the metal pieces and sanded primered and painted.

If its anything like mine, there is not a roundel that will fit. The largest size roundel is still about a cm smaller in diameter.

[dinanm3atl]

If it is close then hopefully it will work

What do your wheels look like?

You could always have Jon make a sticker for your OZ caps Joe...I'm sure he'll do it if you give him a picture to go off of.

a project forum thread on how to spraypaint your wheels? I imagine the first time you put a pressure washer to them it is all going to peel off.--btw you should have donr the insides first, now you will have overspray all over the front.

look good now though.

what makes you think that? it's been almost 4 years since I spraybombed my wheels and they've held up fine.
