I wanna repaint my wheels but am unsure as to whether my wheels are powder coated or painted. Is there any way to tell? If it is powder coat how do i remove it...can i just scuff it and paint over it?
Also what paint should i use, I was contemplating using the ceramic engine coating over the dupli-color wheel paint? Any suggestions? This post has been edited by Davesceli: Sep 1, 2009 - 1:42 AM |

I'm gonna be taking this on in a while and that video raised some questions for me. I always thought that the inside of the wheel should be painted as well, yet that guy in the video didn't, it seemed...so would you say it's necessary? Seems like it would take away from the overall look if the inside was still silver.
