I'd like to paint mine as I think a nice red would look really good. But, I'm not sure how to do it or what type of paint to use.

 

they make a kit that gives you all the stuff

Thanks. I'll have to swing by my local stores and pick this up.

 

and id stick to the spray can paint and not the brush paint. Its alot easier and looks alot better IMO

 

I did mine with the brush kit last summer. It turned out really good! I like the brush kit becuase if you are painting them in place you can just be very careful and you wont get paint where you don't want it.

 

thats why theres a technique called masking^^

 

I'll most likely use the brush, and apply 3 light coats to get a smooth look. I'll look into spraying but I don't want to have to mask off the entire car incase of overspray.

So, for those that have done this, how long ago did you do it and how's it holding up?

 

It took me about half an hour per wheel, make sure you clean them really good. It hasn't flaked or anything yet and it's been 8 months

 

I've used both techniques and they took me about the same amount of time. And both were done over a year and a half ago, and neither one is fading or flaking.

 

Guys the spray can is good all u gota do is cover unnecessary parts u dont wanna get painted with cloth and u spray away , the hand brush is good aswell i painted mine a month ago with brush and she looks sweet
