Looks good. I am thinking of getting some stock Eclipse 5-star wheels for the track. Clean car. Keep it that way

What paint did you use? Does it feel like it will last? What does it do if you try to sratch it with your finger nail?

Dupli-Color makes a wheel paint, specifically for painting rims.

All you have to do is get some aircraft remover, and clean the surface you are painting. Then spray a few layers, clearcoat, and viola.

yea i cleaned em real well, then stripped the shiznit out of em with aircraft stripper, then sanded em with 320 grit then 1000 grit wet sand, then painted em with several coats of high heat enamel gloss black duplicolor. however, i didn't clear coat them. if i was to do it again, i would primer them first then put about 6 coats on and then clear coat em, but it was my first time. i thought i turned out quite nice, ill prolly redo strip em and do it again later in summer tho
