very nice i like the high gloss look instead of the low gloss. I think low gloss just looks like brake dust

no tires where still on the rims!

Supplys where...
2 cans of dupicolor black wheel paint
3 cans of dupicolor automotive clear
1 plack of index cards
1 pack 600 grit sandpaper

I took off the rims, cleaned em then sanded em with 600 grit sand paper. Cleaned them again and got index cards and put them between the rim and tire.Sprayed the rims with the black the black paint took like 3 coats to completly do the rims. I was letting it dry a few minutes between coats. Then after the last coat dried i sprayed the rims with a ton of clear coat...Let em dry and threw em back on...
