FiBTLforlife Posted March 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Hey, that looks really good I'm gonna do my jeep wheels here soon, wat brand wheel paint did u go with, and how long did u let it cure before u went out for the first time use dupli color for everything, which you can find at any autozone. I got this stuff you can also find there thats paint remover in a can. that stuff is no joke and works great. spray it on and let it sit for about 2 min and all the paint just bubbles up (use a wire brush to get it off, also do NOT GET IT ON YOUR SKIN bc it will burn like a mother fcker) The primer you mostly use 3-4coats, just start off with one ver light coat and work you way up. It drys very fast so within 20 min you should have primer done. I used about 4-5 coats for black and 3-4 coats of clear just depends on how thick your coats are. I allowed mine to sit for about an hour before installing back on the car then just let the car sit over night to finish drying. My best advise is to sand down the rim after you strip it with some 600-800 wet sanding to get every little bit of paint off. My front right I did that but the rear right I didnt and you can see little parts that I missed with left over paint. all in all for $5 a can it isnt bad.
