some simple and quick suggestions for paint j00r rims:
1. take ur car to a 'do urself' car wash, spray purple clean on the wheels, and blast them good with a pressure washer. the spray again and clean with a rag in all the corners, rinse again.
2. take the wheels off
3. using some kind of wax, apply a heavy coat to the tires.
4. if u plan on leaving a silver lip, apply a heavy coat of wax to the lip
5. at home depot get some red scuff pads or some 3m's
6. scuff the wheels with the pad to make a proper painting surface.
7 . paint the wheels. more distance and less paint makes texture...closer with more paint makes a smooth finish
8. once the paint has sat for 20-30 mins, wipe off the wax from the tire/lip.
and thats it.
