Ok im sure this is repost and i appologize. My car is getting motor swap this comin up week and i figured what better time to rip my rims off and paint em black while the max is gettin boosted. hehe Im sure i have to take clear coat off with something i was just wondering if someone had some good recomendations on a solution i could use, or do u just sand em down? And what kinda paint i should use to save me from having to repaint em 3 times lol. Thanx for help

 

Oh yea forgot, this is my max and the rims im goin to be painting. Even though its a bit different now, suspension, a31 cefiro projectors, and recently added stillen front lip.http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/429634

 

airplane stripper, or if ur rims are smooth the way i did mine is too sand them even, paint coat, wetsand, repaint let dry good and clear coat.

 

There's a write up linked in the 4th Gen "How-to" sticky.

 

I repainted 3 tires already and two more to go. I have the honeycomb rims. The airplane stripper is good on the inside of the comb and not the surface. I can't get the paint off the surface, so I just wetsand it down. Once is smooth, I just add 3 coat of silver and 3 coat of clear. A warning before painting. Make sure there's no grease or oil on the rim. The result will be spotting if there's oil there, even after 3 coating. Also to speed up the process of drying the paint. I would advise using a hair dryer. Make sure the dryer has a good filter to block the dust.

Instead of spending 3 hours on two rims, i can spend an hour.

 

Excellent thanks alot!
