looks good so far. How many coats is that?

I want to do my wheels, but I've got a couple that are a little corroded (the '01 aluminum OE 16s), and I'm afraid they'll look like total and udder ass if I PD over the irregularity in the wheel(s)

Tip for doing the tires, put a set of index cards in the lip between the tire and the rim to make a nice cone (like the cone they put on dogs lol) and then you don't have to worry about overspray.

yes lots of coats... and its gonna be much harder to clean but it looks good!...dust tends to coat them sometimes and u cant rub too hard without it peelin.. but like everything else sprayed..worst comes to worse..get some paint remover and then powerwash!:shooter:

You'll be good with 5 coats. I've had mine done for a few months now and don't have any issues with them peeling. I just take a pressure washer to mine to clean them off
