So I pulled the Celica back out on the road and after 426,000 KM, my rims factory rims are a wreck. I really don't want to sink anymore cash into the Celica...

so I was thinking of spray painting my factory rims (believe me.. they look really dirty the way they are)

Is this advisable? I saw a nice spray paint that resembles the stock colour. Would this look good or WHACK. Would i need to apply a clear coat after?

Anyone?

Thanks..

Shaun

painting them works fine. Even the cheap 98cents paint will do fine...just clean them up and wire brush the crap off them and go at it..i like to put lots of tire gel on my tires and just spray like crazy then wire brush the paint off the tires..i did my 3000GT stock wheels and my G/F's celica rims.

The wheels look awesome!

In reference to TIREGel.. you mean like that tire cleaner protectant stuff right?

Did you wask the tires at all with tape and bags too?

(ps. THANKS! Your info was soooooooooo helpful!)
