Yesterday I tackled the project of painting my GTS wheels, and I've just gotta say, they turned out amazing. Here are pics I took not too long ago:

For those wondering about the process:
1) Take off wheel 2) Clean it with soap and water 3) Sand with 320 grit sandpaper 4) Clean it with soap and water 5) Mask off the wheel (I used a deck of playing cards) 6) Apply 2 medium coats of automotive primer (4 minutes between each coat) 7) Apply 3 medium coats of wheel paint (10 minutes between each coat) 8) Let dry in the sun for 1 hr. I used Duplicolor wheel paint, it worked really well. Materials were about $40. It took 3 cans (you could do it in 2 if you have experience painting) of the wheel paint, and 2 cans of primer. -Matt This post has been edited by GotToyota: Jul 12, 2008 - 5:05 PM |
