Sure center caps need some work for the whole wheel to look perfect.

pretty clean, but not really feeling it on the white.

liking the color combo. can you clue me in on the paint you used? is it gunmetal duplicolor? the clear coat is peeling on my rims and they're curbed all over the place since I bought them used.. did you bondo or use paint thinner to prep first?

2 cans of DupliColor - Gunmetal (4 layers)
1 can of DupliColor Clear Coat (3 Layers)
3 Medium Grade Sand Sponge

Total time spent 6:30 hrs.

Prep time was the longest...my buddy has his own shop so I took all four wheels off and had them soak in parts cleaning solution for 30 mins before wet sanding each wheel. Completely removing all brake dust, gravel...etc.

Used Dawn to clean off any left over oily spots. Towel dried and left in the sunlight for a few minutes.

First 2 coats of paint, let dry 3rd coat and walked away for about an hour. 4th coat and let dry for 30 minutes.

First & second layer of clear coat; let dry for 30 mins...last coat and sat in direct sunlight for about 2 hours.

So more or less...most of the time spent was watching the paint dry
