Sick of my silver rims, so had to spice them up a bit............I used 2 coats of Dupli-Color Primer, 3 coats of Graphite Dupli-Color High Performance Wheel Coating (awsome color with TONS of metallic in it), 2 coats of Clear Coat Dupli-Color High Performance Wheel Coating

Looks sweet!

I'm going to be doing something similar soon, but my wheels have paint on them. I was thinking of just sanding the paint to make a good base and spraying the colour on that. What do you think?

I used 400 grit sandpaper to scuff the original paint before priming mine

Took some more pics today of how the wheels look on the car...............man I love my car again after doing some minor mods

whats the risk that the paint will come off?
Did you spray the back side too or does like the inner wheel have the old color still?
How many cans did it take to do all that?
How many days did it take to complete like drying times ect ect?
