Painting steel wheels?
Any recommendations or hints on painting steelies?
I ordered my snows yesterday (Winterforce, mounted on black steelies), and have wanted a white set of steelies for years now. I know it's silly, and I can't really explain it, but I really want it. I'm not looking to have them painted, but to do it myself. I don't know if I could plasti-dip them, but I guess it's possible. Any ideas, hints or tips? |

Scotchbrite pad, Duplicolor spray paint, Duplicolor clear, and flash cards to protect your tires from overspray.

I think I got it.
Would wet sanding be recommended? Like a good coat, followed by wet sanding, then a second coat? |
