Rims Refinished
So, after much debating, I decided to go ahead and refinished my rims with a light silver, I think its a bit lighter than factory, I like it!
I also painted my center cap to the way I like it So here is a teaser ![]() I will also offer wheel refinishing. 25 a wheels plus shipping and cost of materials. all in all I am VERY please with this

I used duplicolor wheel rattle can, and dulpicolor wheel clear coat in a rattle can. Then used the paint markers with a picture from Porsche and painted the centers. Then clearcoated again, and threw one extra coat on the WHOLE rim

Ditto on the tires. Good job... very refreshing. If you're not going to swap the tires, I would tape them out next time for a little cleaner look.

Did you do any prep to the wheel before painting it? Cleaning? Sanding?

Excellent job.
I finally have mine stripped down and sanded to the bare aluminum.
