my god, beautiful work, looks like u were a little too close to the wheels when spraying the black though. great job overall though, i love the result

i just noticed you didnt spray the inside of the wheel though, i would if i were you, it will look so much better, and what clearcoat did you use?

They look A LOT better!! Aren't you afraid of them paint chipping?? Before I had wheels I had painted hubbies that chipped like crazy. Now I use the hubbies on my winter blizzaks.

it doesnt matter how much you use, prep work is what matters in this case, did you sand them down really good and clean em very good? if so you should be ok
