    Painted my wheels

    Got sick of looking at crappy wheels and the brake dust marks that were etched in them.So i decide to give them a spray paint,i used a epoxy etch primer then coated them in brake caliper paint.Its durable and can be baked on with a heat gun.

    Looks good. I have been looking at powdercoating my alloys but like the idea of painting better and being able to touch them up easily.

    How much paint did you need to do the 5 wheels?

    The etch primer i bought in a tin was 22 bucks,but you can get it in a can,it took 2 tins to do the wheels and thats good coats as well,they are about 10-12 bucks each.
