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 |

Thanks for the help guys. I bought some SILVER Wheel Spraypaint as well as a High Performance clear coat! WOW! HuGE difference. From a wheel that had patches of silver mixed with dull, grey, rusted and pitted areas to a nice solid shimmery shiny silver coat!
Wow! I am super impressed. The car's paint has always been top notch, and it seems to have ressurected the car! Thanks!
