[6thgenLOVE]

things needed: electric sander,1can of brake cleaner, 2 cans of black spray paint(gloss),1 can of clear coat (gloss)

1) took off hubcaps and wheels off the car.
2) cleaned wheel with soap and water than dryed completely
3) sanded all rust and exisiting paint off of the steelie as much as i could
4) used brake cleaner to get the rest of the dirt off the wheel!
5) layed a table cloth over wheel outlined the outer part of the wheel with sharpie, cut a hole with scissors (so no paint will get on the tire itself)
6) began painting(let dry for 20 mins than do one more coat of paint)
7) waited atleast 20 mins before clear coating the wheel
8) repeat process for each wheeel

* just a fun little project, that IMO came out very good

HERE ARE THE RESULTS

I normally use the the cheap aluminum/silver spray paint
yea its normally easier to mask of tire paint silver then mask off silver with painters tape the paint black
or maybe charcoal gray looks good to
autozone sells a really nice rim paint that comes in silver an charcoal grey
cost alil more but gives a great finish
when I did my old rims with it my friends thought I had ny rims pouter coated
