Painted the wheels black
So, between Friday afternoon and Sat. morning I painted my wheels black.
First step, degreased and washed wheels. Then I prepped the wheels with tape and wet sanding. I followed with some primer and the went on to the spraying. I used Duponts wheel paint. I probably sprayed each wheel about 5-6 times. I was going to use the clear coat spray but decided not too as I liked how the matte finish looked.
I also resprayed the front grill, hood fins and side markers black as well.
Anyway, here are some pics of the process and the last pic is of my toys.
Hope you like and yes, the car needs a drop, hopefully soon!
