I sandblasted my cruddy stock GT wheels and repainted them plain silver. I think they turned out pretty decent, the clear turned kinda funny on some of them but they're for my winter tires so eh, who cares haha.
Here's a freshly blasted one next to a stock one...  He's after primer, the one on the end is still uncoated...  Here's with the top coat on before the clear...  Annnnd the finished product with my WS60's mounted, she's all ready for winter

I threw them right into a blasting cabinet then did them one by one. It only took about 30 minutes to get all four stripped down.
