ParadiseMJ Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Self Etching Primer may help it stick better. I have to admit those look good black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunl Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I had a set that I was going to do black, with the inner parts between the spokes in dark grey. But black looks real good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWLONGSHOT Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Like any paint job, what makes it good and makes it last is the prep.Secondly its the paint, good paint properly applied followed with clear coat and allowing it sufficient drying time. Don't rush, take your time and do it rite and you will have a good looking wheel that will last you more then a season. I have done a couple sets. Recently I have been using Duplicolor wheel primer, paint and there same labeled clear coat. I first media blasted the wheel, then primered it. Followed by the first of 3-4 light coats of color. (Out of rattle cans) Following the instructions for drying times between coats. Lastly the clear coat, I gave that a couple coats as well. I chose Graphite for a color and it came out great. Here is a shot of a 10 spoke set I did... I cannot find the pics of the set of XJ "LACE" wheels I also did... CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
