Painted '09 FX4 wheels.

Took along time but I like them. Prolly going to wet sand and reclear them when it warms up.

4 cans of self etching primer
6 cans of Duplicolor HPW Satin Black wheel paint.
3 cans of Duplicolor HPW Clear Coat for wheels.

any and all comments welcome.
Pic in my gallery of before.




Thanks to the ones who posted their write-ups on how they did this.

Thanks for all the great comments! After I got them finished I let them set overnight. I wasn't feeling them till I put them on. I think I am going to get the nerf bars powder coated black.

Definitely going to level it and get some 305's put on.
