Well, I want to see if I am the only one that paints his own wheels....? Im in the process of painting my Enkei RPF1's black(they were silver but here in miami silver rpf1's are like gay's in miami beach, their everywhere).

 

i see a compressor so imma assume that it's sprayed on with an actual paint gun?

 

Yes sir. I am doing all the steps. Sand factory paint with 220 grit sand papper, clean, spray primer, sand with 400 grit sand papper, clean, spray paint and hope it comes out good enough not to need wet sanding..

 

Are to going to do the inside of the barrells as well?

This looks like its going to turn out to be pretty quality.

 

Yeah, im doing the whole wheel. Ill paint that black(just not as detailed). And thanks, im hopping it comes out great. I did my last ap2 v1 wheels too and they came out pretty good. Not as good as these are going to look, I hope

Here are some pics of my old wheels, I did these too.

 

I was thinking about painting my rims bronze but I'm not sure what that would look like considering they have a polished lip. Anyone feel like helping a brotha out with a photochop?

 

Dude, a nice bronze in the inner part of the wheel, would look real real good.

Try it out man, thats how you learn. Its really not as hard as people make it out to be.

 

Yea I painted my front bumper and have the compressor and spray guns, the only thing I was worried about is how much work would be put into these and if they didn't look right at the end. Like you said though, the only way to find out is to do it.

O yea, the rims look good so far, more pics when you finish.

 

Honestly, Its really easy to paint wheels. All you need is to be dedicated to it for as long as it takes you, and they should come out good.
I started by helping a friend out paint hes wheels, to helping another, to having a friend help me with mine, to now. (wich I do all my wheels alone now).
A budy of mine just finished painting he's bmw e30 on he's own.(it came out good too)
Check it out. He has it from beginning, to almost end.
