Painting my 10spokes *Pics*
I picked up a 2nd set of SS 10spokes and I'm painting them gloss black. After cleaning them up I wet sanded with 400 grit. Then 3 coats of Primer. Now just finished the first coat of color.

Nice work. It looks pretty good. I'm not sure how much I'll really like the black wheels on an NBM car. But, if you like it, that's all that matters. Personally, I like the ones on it in your sig.

It doesn't seem cloudy, but its hard to get full coverage with it all being smooth. The trailing edges of the spray make it, i dunno... like it has texture, so I'm forever chasing that texture away by spraying more... That probably makes no sense.
not sure if u can see a difference from the last picture, but here is with 2 coats of clear. Final one should be done soon.

I was thinking the same thing. It's going to suck when you go to get new tire on and balanced, because then you'll have a spot right there that you'll have to touch up. Also, next time you do have them balance your tires, ask them to use the stick on weights that go inside, so you wont have to worry about them damaging the face of the paint. Look great though, nice work! Just needs a polished lip and it'll look a ton better.
