I just painted my new(to me) r32s. I like using Nissan parts so I wanted to get r32 Skyline GT-R rims for my s14. I could only find a pair of GT-Rs(16x8), so i also got a pair of GTS-Ts(16x6.5) for the front until I can find a good deal on another pair of GT-Rs. The Dupli-color rim paint is really good and I think they look awesome. The pictures are the steps from crap to polished crap! Check out what came on the car when I bought it!!!!!
1. If the paint is really bad, like the GTRs, I use Aircraft Paint Stripper from Autozone. If they're not too bad, like the GTS-Ts, just use a degreaser and steel wool to clean them and then wet sand with 320-400grit sandpaper to scuff up the clear coat and paint.2. Degrease every inch of surface and let dry3. Paint using Dupli-color's directions. I also used thier clearcoat which really protects the paint and makes it appear more smooth and shiny.4. Enjoy your Brand New(sort of) rims. I love mine because only hardcore Nissan lovers know what I have on my car.
