Default Painted AP1 wheels

With extra set of AP1 wheels, I tried something I've never done before which was to paint them.
Got the wheels from a friend of mine (painted black but in bad shape), I had to paint stripped them and sanded and primed.
Almost took me 8 hours to do whole job but I think it came out pretty good. Color is Charcoal. I hope you like them Everything was done in rattle can














Tomorrow will be nicer out so Im going to take installed pictures. I couldn't wait till tomorrow to post this up
let me know what you think

Thats a really cool color. Can you post a pic of the can you used? Also is that a matte finish or did you use a clear?

wow, great job, they look amazing. The color is awesome too, I can't wait to see pics of them on the car. I've always wanted to paint a set of wheels but I'm kinda afraid to. I don't think I'd have that much dedication to do a good enough job. Yours looks great though
