Has anyone painted the evo 8 stockers themselves? How did it turn out i wanted to just do mine in a flat black. I wasnt gonna just use a spray can i was gonna use a gun to spray my wheels.

 

yea heres mines..its gunmetal..thinking about redoing then to gold..i seen a black evo here in milwaukee with painted gold it was nice..one of my friend did his flat black with a red lip looks nice...

 

why not just rattle can? unless you have everything already and have a paint picked out.

duplicolor has their own wheel paint in flat black. I'm about to use it but spray clear over it so it's not going to be flat. Also I cant seem to find any local auto stores that have them in stock (black).

 

u just sprayed them on the car with spray paing out of a can?

 

davidpath that is a good lookin ride i do like your wheels

 

I dont know if you have tires on your rims but if you do you will have to mask it.

1. clean wheels with soap and water.
2. sand the wheels down.
3. clean the wheels again.
4. wax and grease remover.
5. spray on primer (i'm pretty sure this isn't needed since your stockers should have paint left, but if you sanded through you should. And you might as well it's cheap.)
6. Sand with about 600.
7. reclean with soap and wax n grease remover.
8. tack everything off.
9. spray wheels with paint.
10. if it comes out good then you can leave it. If you have dust or whatever sand and respray or buff (but i'm not sure th rattle can will buff out nicely.)

Follow the instructions on the can like cure time and whatnot.

oh yeah do it in the proper temperature and clean enviroment. I'm pretty sure you dont have a spray booth or nothing so wet the floors with water to prevent the dust from coming up.

 

i took them off the car..so it took longer...first i clean them off..went to walmart an bought scoth brite pads an index cards...and the spray paint can from walmart

 

I am going to try this with my old racing harts. Going gold also
