Default 20" chrome rim painting

Hey whats up gents and ladies. I talked to you guys recently about taking the plastic off the 05 rim.... which i found out to be way more work then I was willing to do... Anyway this morning I ran up to the Lowes here in ann arbor mi. I bought some Valspar plastic primer, black paint and clear gloss... I happen to have one of my rims off already because a pitbull tore a hole in my sidewall... Anyways after i scuffed all the chrome up i cleaned it all off and removed my center dodge emblem.... I just put the 3rd coat of black on over the primer.... its looking real good once I get this one done I will post some pics of how it looks... Cheap way to have some custom rims.... anyways ill keep you updated peace out!!!
