ok...my wheel painting kinda walkthrough

#1)First i took them of, washed them w/ soapy water to get the grime off, and wet sanded them w/ 2k grit sandpaper...it did a good job...also, i taped off the first wheel through the whole process and it was a bitch to get off at the end. i also had to retouch where the tape was, so i did it w/o the tape the second wheel and it worked out much better. i'd recommend to not tape it off.
**look at first pic

#2)i did 2 solid coats of a black primer good enough to cover the entire rim w/ darkness...as well as the center cap that was taken off...
**pic 2

#3)i did 3 good coats of the black paint and didnt bother w/ the clear coat so that if my rims do get scratched, all i gotta do is shake and bake and they're back to normal.
**pic 3

#4)reinstalled the wheels...rinse and repeat for however many rims u happen to have left!!!
**pics 4&5

they look good so far, but i'm not gonna drive the truck until wednesday and get the lugs airwrenched down. also, i only did 2 today, the other 2 will be getting done tomorrow!!

EDIT: also, it should be titled "my", not may...so...as u were!

That ain't cheesy bro, that's cool get 'em started young. My 9yo will help only when his buddies can't play. Cherish while you can next thing you know he'll be asking for the keys . Oh by the way how many cans have you used so far?

Yea i'm just finishing mine up and used 1 can of primer and 1 of paint.
Reason i asked i saw on another site someone used a can of both for each rim, a little overkill imo.

the truck looks badass jhodge, i'm wondering if you do the same thing i do now...whenever i get to where i was going, i pull the key out, climb out, shut the door and start walking...then i stop, turn around for a second and say "dammmmn thats sexy" and every time i get out of my truck i have trouble walking away from it lol

u dont even have to worry about paint getting on your tire morcheez, i taped off my first one then i said screw it i'll trust my buddy with what he told me, which was that the paint will roll and peel right off after a couple hours, and he was right. i just rubbed the tires with a rag and it all came right off, i was surprised it didnt adhere to the tires
