Steps

1. Preparation the wheels

In order to get the paint to stick and be adorable, it is imperative that you remove any flaking, rusting or chipping.

2. Tape off the tire

To prevent over spray on your tires you need to tape where the rim meets the tire.

3. Apply the primer

The primer helps the paint stick to the wheel for a lasting result.

4. Paint

Now you finally get to apply your final coats. Make sure you don't coat it too thickly, otherwise it will drip.

Five

Remove the tape and mount your wheels.
