Well, I did my rims a little different than most have explained how they did theirs. I just bought these rims from someone about 3 weeks ago and the backside of the rims had some nasty stuff caked on them so I scrubbed all that crap off and painted the backside black primer so. Only the front side of the rims is getting the graphite treatment but I think the backside being black is a cool touch. I sprayed only 1 rim tonight, I am working on my balcony so space is limited. On that rim, 2 coats of primer, 3 coats of Plasti-Kote Import Color Honda Graphite Grey metallic was sprayed and it looks sweet. I'm gonna have to sand the center down a little bit(the recessed area where the lug holes are) because the paint isn't smooth, looks like a too much of the metallic material came out. If that had came out fine, I would have sprayed the clear on it but oh well, sh*t happens. Hopefully I can knock out 2 wheels tomorrow then do the last one on friday so I can put them on my car saturday when I lower it w/my neuspeeds.
