prep: Each wheels was degresed and dried, I had a polished lip on mine, stripped the clear off and buffed it up real good, also ran some 600 grit sandpaper over the entire wheel to smooth it all out.
Primer: Automotive primer, I used gray, but I think i should have used black... it doesnt make a difference, just depends on how many coats you want and what color you will be painting hte wheels.. I went with 3 coats of primer i think.. then sanded with some 800.
Paint: I got some duplicolor Universal Metallic Black, found it also at a paint supplier, but i belive Autozone also carries it too. 4 coats, then sanded with 1000 grit then wetsand 1200.
Clear: 4 coats of Clear, same brand as color. i didnt sand or anything after the clear. Mainly because I didnt want to have to try and buff the wheel out again cause it wouldbe hard to get into the corners and stuff..
I used my kitchen oven to bake the paint a bit between color coats to help it dry and harden it up a bit.
Overall it came out well, the wheels were shiny and they held up well to the brake dust and cleanings... also didnt scratch or chip easily at all...
