yeah i was split between white and gun metal but i decided i liked white better. autozone sells the gun metal color in dupli-color wheel paint by the way.
i know, ive already painted my hubcas that color...lol

sweet sweet. i painted my steelies black but thats about it. hubcaps i wouldnt spend time on because they'd probably get stolen by some meth head in town lol. get some rims and spray em though gunmetal looks good on your car.

what were your prep steps? how did you remove the old paint and all?

well i took the wheels off, taped off around the rim on the tire. sprayed it down with a bunch of aircraft stripper from autozone. blasted it with a garden hose to get all off the extra peeling paint off. sanded the rims down with a dremmel tool until the whole surface was smooth, sprayed again, dry wheels tape off again, spray primer, wait, repeat, wait, then the paint, then the clear, then sit overnight. tadah
