Hey guys, so no real updates as of yet. I do have some questions if I could get some pointers from you guys. So I'm planning on painting my Epsilons white, and right now they're stripped/sandblasted per the last owner. My question here is if you guys have any pointer on wheel painting. Should I prep any more here? Should I prime and then paint? Should I use enamel paints? I obviously don't have much experience here, lol. I have ideas in my head, just bouncing them off you guys make sure I'm not gonna mess stuff up. Here are some close up pictures of where the finish is right now.
Aaaaaand, if anyone is good at photoshop and they could make the centers white in these pics, I'd <3 you 4ever
And a question directed at LOCALTHIRTEEN, what's the thread pitch on our shifters? 10x1.50?

As far as the wheels go I buy the duplicolor wheel primer/sandable primer and an actual wheel paint. Ive done four sets now myself and they all have came out great. Its all in your prep work. Sand, clean, sand, beer, sand, clean, beer. Im not sure what the tread pitch is. I took my whole shift arm out and into the hardware store when I made mine. LOL
Blacked out my mesh wheels today and I think it turned out awesome
I had to take them back off because I got stuck trying to get out of the driveway, and got stuck again trying to back into the garage even. and I mean literally stuck, as in I got my datass out and pushed that bitch

ps your wheels look awesome.
So the duplicolor stuff is probably the best way to go huh? Sounds like a plan. I don't really need them to be perfect, just decent and not bare. And that cracks me up about the shifter, but that's not a bad plan, lol. I guess I'll either do that or get something to measure it.
ps Thanks ;D
pps started following you on instagram, so if you see brettjimenez liking your stuff that's me, lol

Sick thanks! Let me know if you have any other questions.
nothing wrong with taking the shifter into the store to find the right thread size.ive taken mufflers into the auto parts store to find the right size to fit lol.
