To paint the rims, im going to be filling in any deep curb rashes with bondo to repair them and them sanding the smaller curb rashes down (the previous owner of the car apparently couldn't drive) . Then rather than a regular primer, im going to do 2 coats of plasti dip because it stands up to heat better. Then 3 coats of gunmetal spray paint on top of the plasti dip and then maybe a layer or 2 of clear coat.
And the exhaust i would recommend to everyone it sounds great i love it.
