Painting Wheels Black

[DJ85vette]

I just got an 85 Vette and am going to paint it Grand Sport blue. I know its no Grand Sport, but I want to paint the wheels black too. If anybody has any advice on the best way to paint them i would appreciate it. Thanks

I just painted my wheels...

I just painted my stk wheels Gun Metal. I cleaned them very well, then sanded them and primed them with 2 light coats makind sure I covered the wheel good with each coat. Then put two good coats of paint and to good coats of clean. And it all was out of a can !!! I dried each coat with a shop heater....it took about 3 mins to dry each coat good and ready for the next. With out a shop heater I would give each wheel a good 5-10 mins with a fan helping dry them. I would post some pics for you this weekend, If I knew how. Or I could send them to you by email. That's up to you some people don't like to give out emails.
