And I am more than satisfied with the results...
I first sanded down all 4 rims to basically metal with a power disk sander. I then cleaned all the rims and applied about 3 coats of Krylon plastic fusion spray paint followed by 2 coats of a clear coat varnish to seal them. After The rims I had some paint left and decided to go ahead and paint my exhaust tips as well..

Awesome! Do you have any pics of the exhaust tips painted?

Yeah it was a solid 4 hours of constant work. And that was exactly the look I was going for.. Some 8000K HIds and hid fogs will tie it together even more at night

Nice job! Aren't the stock 20s chrome clad, was this a problem when sanding? They look great, I'll be curious to see how they hold up, but I suspect in Cali it won't be a problem.

What's going to happen if "hope you never do" get a flat or need new rubber? Need to rebalance the wheels? Did you paint the lip of the rim too?

 

[DAYLEY/CHALLENGER]

Well I was always told if you couldn't say something nice about something, don't say anything at all...............

Anyway..........Its your ride and if you like it.........then its fine. Personally she looks a little dull..........just my 2c. Sorry

i think the flat black is ok, would be better if it shined alittle, cause then mayb they wouldnt look like they were painted, what did u use? did u do a stress an weather test to see what the chip and fade rate would be?

 

[Surfer88]

ottawanitro - no problems at all with sanding it actually was not as hard as I planned it to be.
jeffrey - yes sir everything is painted with way too many coats ha. i actually messed up at one point and sanded one of the rims back down to the metal and it was a pain to get the paint off
dayley - i respect your opinion but i honestly am going for the more dull flat black look. if i shined them up i personally think they would look more cheap. to each his/her own.
