I don't want to sand mesh wheels
 

I would rather NOT have to use sandpaper to get into all the holes in my wheels, and I don't have access to a sand/sodium blaster. Anyone ever try "etching primer" or something like that to prep wheels for paint? They are gunmetal now and I am going to rattle can them silver.

Small paint brush and paint thinner... I havent used this method myself, but I have seen others in action. It came out pretty good too, but painted the whole wheel one color.

I have "air crafted" a set of wheels before, but you will need to polish the lips later on.. also everytime it rains you need to polish it again..

Hope it helps... =X

Etching primer is for bare metal
