This is we I'm at right now. Washed, sanded, cleaned, primed, 1 coat of Duplicolor Engine Gloss Black. I'll be putting another coat then clear. Only the rear rims for now since I don't have time to do all 4 before my golf game at 2:30 so the other 2 will be done tomorrow and pics intalled will be tomorrow as well.

When I put the clear should I let the paint dry first or put the clear right after paint?

Feedback/comments welcome!

Looks good, now use a little tire shine and it'll set them off real well.

nice job, but is it just me or does it look like your rear driver side wheel sticks in really far?

I get tired of cleaning my rims... having them black means I could wait 3-4 weeks between washing, lol
