1. Buy the cans
2. Spray it on
3. Let it dry


I would suggest taking the wheels off, but thats just my opinion on how I did mine.

Housor Apr 30, 2011 05:50 PM

yes definatly take the wheels off, i taped off the first two but on the last two i didn't even tape em off this stuff is stupid easy to use i'm in love with it even tho i had to pay 200$ for 12 cans it was worth it. i wasnt sure how the stamped "alcoa forged" part would coem out but it turned out great touch ups are really easy also i recommend this to everyone!

Did it take all 12 cans?

DavidGXP Apr 30, 2011 06:27 PM

Man... I forgot how much fender gap stock GXP's have.

Looks good man.. I'd like to mod some Bonnenille GXP wheels.

No acually i used about 1 can and 3/4 of another i was expecting 3-4 cans for the whole car but i barely used 2!

My question is how do you get the stuff off your wheel?

It peels off. Just scratch a whole in it and start pulling.

well thats neat

94ss06gxp May 1, 2011 07:02 AM

so let me get his right, so i can take a nice clean alcoa, do no prep (sanding) and just pray it on, then if i dont like it i can peal it all off?

texasGXP08 May 1, 2011 08:08 AM

WhiteGXP313 May 1, 2011 08:08 AM
