i scruffed up the paint with scotch brite,
used rostoleum plastic primer for caps, rostoleum metal primer for centers.
automotivetouchup.com paint 20 bucks each , 3 cans. 2 stage base coat. kinda expensive but love the color. they can mix any color code and put it in a can, since the ahole at napa was too lazy to do it. but u ca ask your local napa too.
did wetsand inbetween the spokes with 1500 grit,
then i sprayed 4-5 coats of rostoleum gloss clear coat.
i could wet sant the clear and polish, but im done for now.Last edited by JE BMW; 06-02-2013, 12:51 PM.
