looks a lil more sporty. If the paint starts chipping just sand it down and re do it with as much heat as you can put on them. Kind of like powder coating. It helps the paint cure to the rim or primer. I know its already hot as **** there.
I keep seein ppl from AZ My sis and cousin live there and when I visited I didnt wanna come back to VA.

I'll keep that in mind, I did a previous set on my old firebird and those lasted forever. So I'll watch these. But AZ is nice...especially phoenix. Im down in Tucson for college and its a little ghetto.

hahaha. yea I stayed for 2 weeks and only had 1 pair of shorts. Its alot different there. when you sweet it evaporates. If you sweet in Va you look like you got sprayed with a water hose. It was in the 90's there and when I got back to Va it was snowing. Wish I had my camaro when I was there.

I am thinking of doing some wheels too and have a couple of questions...
How many cans did you use for all 4 wheels?
Did you use the Dup primer or something else?
Did you use the Dup clear after color?
I have the same color sitting around now and was told that you didn't need clear after I shot the color and also I didn't need primer if I sanded the faces down some.

ok, so i used 1.5 cans of graphite and that was only on the face of the rims, i didnt paint the inside. i used a can of primer on all the rims, and a little less than one can of duplicolor wheel clear. the primer was a generic brand that was black. just make sure you do a good job taping and take your time spraying to avoid runs. The graphite doesnt run easily but the clear if abused will run very quickly and is hard to catch because of the color.
