Wheels on the wrong side of the car??? No...I made sure I put them on right and im positive they are right, because I did them one by one...
Well im just gonna tell you what I did for tips...
First I got 800grit sand paper and sanded the whole rim down. Then I sprayed it all off with Carb. Cleaner and wiped it down with a towel. Then I got some notecards and placed them in between the rim and tire so I dont get any overspray. Then I used "Sandable Primer" Which makes the glossy black paint stick on better. I let the primer dry for about 10minutes. Then I sprayed a light coat of the glossy black over the whole rim. Then I got a lot closer and sprayed it down until it was nice and glossy. I let that sit for a good 20-30minutes. Then I got the clear coat and sprayed it down 3 coats and a 15minute dry in between each coat. I did this for every rim and it took about 6hours total...But in the end its way worth it. It looks a lot better in person....

Lol, I just noticed your in AZ to...Sometime about 3weeks ago were you at Chevron in Marana? And the primer should make the rim a flat grey color to get the rim sticky so the paint will stick good...
