Dang that guy needs to know how to drive or he's always driving drunk or lets his Girl drive his car

 

Explain the whole process please. What cleaner do u use to clean the wheel to get prep, what sand paper number, how many primer coats and paint, where to buy duplicolor wheel pain on local store??

 

I had thought about refinishing mine with duplicolor silver, but since my car is Brilliant Silver I wasn't sure how it would look. I prefer the OEM color which is kind of between silver and gunmetal. Three of the four Coupe 18's I got are in really good shape. The fourth isn't bad, but has several chips in the paint. I'll probably just wait for a fourth to pop up and sell the chipped up one I have.

 

i actually have those same stock 18's chrome dipped for sale if anyone is interested

 

1. washed the wheels with car soap and dryed them
2. taped up the tire so paint wont get on it USED DUCK TAPE OTHER TAPE SLIPPED OUT
3. wet sanded down the entire whell until smooth 3M 1500 GRIT
4. put bondo on the curd rash and damaged parts and let it dry
5. sanded down were the bondo was until i even it out with the rim
6. then cleaned wheel down i put with dry towel
7. i used 1 can of primer per rim it was about 4 to 5 coats also did the inside don't forget to sand it down to
8. let rim dry well then used silver paint also about 4 to 5 coats even did the inside of the wheel to
9. let the wheels dry for about 1hr and wet sanded a bit rough spots and dryed it up and throw on the clear coat about 3 coats because i notice if u put to much gets nasty throws the clear coat shine out 1 clear coat can lasted for all 4 rims
10. i let them dry over night then next morning took ofF tape from tire and if any paint got on tire comes off quick with tire shine put a bit on and wipeD off
11. mounted them on the car and took it for a wash...

HOPE THIS HELPS OUT!!

 

i believe its him he said his girl don't touch his car.

 

Around here...guys would toss them up on CL like that and call them "MINT" and take a picture from 5 feet away.

Then they get upset when I show up and don't want to buy them

 

did these rims comes in 17" as well?

 

happen to me he said small ding wen got there was horrible was asking $350 and threw in new tire and all 4 were about 70 to 80% thread and threw in new one i told him ill only give u $200 nobody guna buy that and he took it

 

ya they do had on sedan before threw coupe ones on mine were clean no dings scuffs curb nothing perfect sold on craigslist for $450 sold in a day

 

You sould your 17's for $450 in a day?

 

yup i couldn't believe it i didnt even have tires dey all had about 15%thread i posted them up in the morning guy called me picked them up that after noon

 

Wow, I hope I can get that much for mine. My tires are only a year old too. Hopefully someone will want them for a snow set or something.

 

ya hopefully at least try to get $400..$100 per wheel..just tell them at the dealer there about $450 per rim without tire..the guy sold them to put them on his maxima i believe

 

Been thinking of doing the duplicolor restoration process on one of my coupe 18's. They look coo in the pictures you put up. Just one question, how the finish compare to OEM in person from a 1 to 10???
