I spent a few hours trying to see if my stockers are worth salvaging. they are all scratched bubbly and corroding as they sit in the garage. I would really like a set of winter wheels and since these are available why not fix them up.

I sanded starting with 60 grit all the way to 600 wet sanded and here's what I've got. I think I'll do the rest of them since it came out pretty good. Now I just have to sand the spokes. What do you think I should do to them. Spray paint or Plasti-dip? I'm thinking black since I have a lot of black on my car already. I'm open to suggestions though.

What I'm dealing with:



How one came out after sanding:

 

Some combo of silver and black would look good. Paint if your sure it's what you want plasti dip if your unsure.

 

I hadn't thought of a combo. Not sure where you'd break up the colors though on this wheel. No real good spot to change colors if you know what I'm saying..?

 

there is a pretty good write-up on here on how to paint wheels posted by member Vita!

 

i was going to powder coat my last set of rims. maybe you could look into it

 

I've seen that, and it is very good! Though I don't really need any help on how to paint. I know how to paint. Just looking for suggestions/input on paint and/or design.

 

I thought about that too. But I'm trying to keep these budget wheels ha. Can't get much cheaper than a few cans of spray paint.

 

plasidip is in fashion these days you could always try that

 

plasi dip and spray paint so it's glossy!

 

As in spray paint over plasti dip?? Why not just spray paint over primer?
