it was pretty easy, but just time consuming; here is a list of things that i used to complete the project;

1. 3 cans duplicolor black wheel coating paint
2. 1 can of duplicolor clear coat wheel coating paint
3. 220 bit sandpaper
4. 1 can of automobile primer
5. degreaser

first thing u need to wash get rid of all the grease/oil and break dust on the wheels; then you allow to dry and begin sanding and scuffing the wheel to allow the paint to adhere better; once that is done, i again washed all the dust from the sandpaper off the wheel and air dried; then you can tape the wheel around the edges; i used 3m masking tape; that was pretty time consuming;

now you are ready to paint with the primer first; once that is done, allow to dry for about 1 hour; then you can paint with the black wheel coat; lots of lite coats is best of course; within an hour of the final coat on the wheel you will need to spray the clear coat; again allow an hour to dry before putting the wheels back on the car
