okay..yeah my buddy came by today with his 350Z and we just cleaned them and then used Sandpaper to sand the wheels down...whiped them down dried them off and then painted them...using 3 coats of paint then 3 coats of Clear! but I'm gonna wait till it gets warmer!

So, you wiped them down, dried them, sanded them, painted them, using three color three clear, but you aren't doing this til it's warmer?
...something doesn't seem quite right, here.

This makes no sense....

1) cleaned the wheels
2) sanded the rims
3) took a wet paper towel to get the dust and stuff off of the rim
4) took dry paper towel to make sure the rim was dry
5) then painted the rim with 3 coats
6) then sprayed 3 coates of clear coat
thats how we did it this past weekend on my Buddies 350Z
and i was talking about MY rims aren't gonna be done till it gets warmer...cause painting outside when its colder and damper isn't the best time to do so.

RE: Painting Rims
yeah my bad i shoulda made it clearer...but what i'm thinking about doing IS doing a black and red paint scheme...
if you lookat our rims..on each spoke they kinda have a little lip to them...I'm thinking about doing those lips in Red adn then the rest of the Rim in Black! what do ya think?
