As others have said, great job with the paint. Is the logo a sticker?

Great job! looks great. How long did the prep/paint process take you?

@kcandiloro, you can get the stickers on ebay. I am painting mine the same color next weekend and may try to create a template so you can spray a logo on.

How many coats did it take to get that finish? Did you use gray or white primer?

Yep, from eBay.

Great shipping and lots of custom colors.

Sanding was the longest part. I'd say a solid hour per wheel to do both face and inside. Then taping/newspapering up the tires, an hour tops if you know what you're doing. Paint wasn't bad at all. Probably under two hours for primer/paint/clear, if that even.

Not many. We were amazed how fast this paint seemed to cover everything in sight. After 2-3 light coats they looked almost perfect. Then just making sure we got the details. We painted the insides first, let them dry for a bit, then flipped to hit the outsides. Oh, and white primer.
