    Default My steps to refinishing my wheels

    1. wash and dry wheel

    2. sand (depending on the level of curb rash) i started with 60grit then 80grit then 120grit then 220grit (220grit final before painting)

    3. touch all your wheel if you can feel any scratches you will see them in the paint,

    4. wipe wheel down with a oil and grease/wax remover, at home depot you can pick up T.S.P for a few bucks

    5. tape anything you dont want paint on THERE WILL BE OVERSPRAY TAPE IT!

    6. Start with a light coat very light not even total coverage allow to dry for a few minutes then apply more coats lightly, be sure to stay at least 6 inches away from the wheel so avoid drips more coats the better i did 6,

    7.Wet sand the finished wheel (2200grit)
    polish and buff

    8. misson complete put the wheels back on and watch them shimmer.
