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 |
