"1. Remove wheel(s) from car.
2. I completely washed mine first but this is optional.
3. Sand all surfaces to be painted with 320 grit sandpaper, spray off with hose and let dry.
4. Now, sand surfaces with 400 sandpaper until smooth. Spray off again with hose and let completely dry. (I bounced the tire up and down and then let sit in sun to dry)
5. Mask off tire. I used masking tape and it sucked, couldn't get it to stick very well. I heard duct tape works also.
6. If using primer, follow instructions on can for application.
7. After primer has dried (if used) start with very light coats of paint. I used Dupli-Color Wheel Paint (graphite).
8. After every coat, i waited 10 mins inbetween coats, and an hour after the fourth and final coat.
9. Clear coat can be used after the paint to bring out the extra shine. I didn't use any. Follow directions on can. Number of coats is your choice.
Enjoy the new look of your rims! "

Be carefull not to use too much water as the primer absorbs this which is not good, always leave to drive for a while if adopting this method

depends on what paint you are going to be using!
i would reccomend solvent basecoat so you will need abbout 1ltr on High Build 2K primer!
1ltr of Solvent basecoat in what ever colour which will actually make 2ltr`s due to the mixing ratio of 2:1 with the hardener.
2ltr of hardener, depending on what pait you are using, i would normally go with the same manufactorer and there reccomendation.
1ltr High Solid Laquer which again will make 2ltr`s but you wont need anywhere near that much!
Also buy a filter mask as the HS Clear coat will really do your lungs in!
