Repainted my stock wheels
 
This fall I sanded down the stock wheels and put a couple coats of Rustoleum Wheel Paint on them. I would have liked to have done more prep work. There are areas that need more smoothing out and some Dremel tool dimples from where I got too aggressive, but it got cold fast and I was running out of temps warm enough to get the paint on. Anyhow despite some flaws I think they came out fabulous for quick refresh.

They look great, Sean. Is that just the plain Rustoleum silver or a clear coat on top?

They look excellent.:banana:



P.S. That balancing weight on the outside of the RF is bad. It'll mess up the paint pretty quick.

I didnt put on clear yet, after the winter I plan on touching up the areas that need more sanding, then I will do the clear. They are still pretty shiney even without clear.

I just put the wheel weights back on where they originally were.

I did mine a few years ago, if I were you I'd skip the clear. It gets yellow fast. As long as there is a shine, let it be.


p.s. they look great!

2K (two part) clear reportedly does not yellow. Pricy and can "orange peel" if put on in too hot or direct sunlight. Abt 25$ a can at Eastwood.
