my boy bought a 97 hx and since the hx rims were beat he decided he wanted to paint them. still undecided on the colors but its either blk with a red lip or blk with a silver lip, i told him go with the red.
1st we cleaned the wheels with degresser, gave them a good scrub with water and degresser, then we sanded it down really good. a quick wet sand with light sand paper, and a anothe scrub with just water.
this is cleaned,sanded, wet sanded and cleaned again:
getting it ready for prime. we used index cards so the primer wouldnt get on the tires.
1st coat:
2nd coat:
we did a 3rd coat but no pics lol, heres a pic of those steps repeated on the rest of the wheels and installed on the car.
when we do paint them ill be sure to post up the pics, should b done saturday cuz thats the only day we have time do get them done.
