if you paint, sand it good. Use primer cause ive done it before without that and it didnt turn out as good as this. and when spraying use short brief sprays, alot of them, instead of using longs ones with will leave run marks, or blotches which has happened to me before

i should use short breif sparays. but should i make sure i cover everything? or is it not so much a big deal if you can still sorta c gray, cuz will it fix it self out depending on the more coats i add??

when you spray just dont spray a lot on one spot at a time, make sure to spray it light, then the coats will add up so the paint doesnt run. Once you try youll get it, and you can always redo it. Its really not too hard. I used a black primer when i did it, with flat black spray paint

isnt that the other way around? because isnt 120 rougher then the 220?
or am i wrong?

I've had the "got bored painted my rims" thing happen to me a few times. I started with some bronze, then went to black, then painted my race wheels black.

I think I'm getting close to another round off Rattle-Can hottness, this time I may do green.
