best way to paint fuchs?
powdercoating or painting which is better? Anyone have a step by step process and pics of their wheels finished? I'd like to paint the inside of my fuchs red or black and keep the polished lip. Any suggestions? I have polished wheels now. Should I go black, red or silver centers with a polished lip? Here is a link to pics of my car.
recent pics of my 911 Thanks, Jayson

How much do you want to spend?
Head over to Barrier Porsche in Bellevue and pick up a couple cans of Wurths matte black paint. They stock it just for that purpose (call first). Scrub the wheels down real well, then use 800 grit sand paper to score the surfaces. Tape off the edges and paint. You typically get better lines if you pull the tape while the paint is still wet. Cost = $25

Do you clearcoat on top? How well does the Wurth's stick?

Wurth reportedly sticks well...you paint over a roughened black original center section. You don't clear coat this black re-paint.
Look at my post titled "economy RSR finish" for more options, including the silver rim section. Wil

I would vote against VHT clearcoat. mine came out rather orange-peely over plain painted backs/polished pedals. maybe it will turn yellow, also...

The Wurth paint will hold up very well.
