I've been thinking of doing mine too. What paint did you use? did you primer?

Painted my 18" TTIIs
Well I finally got 2 good wheels and had to paint them to match the front. Nothing like scuffing up 600 dollars worth of wheels. They came out pretty good. Now it is off to get the tires mounted and see how they go on the car.

Looks good. Could you give us some specifics on the process, the color, etc. I really like the look.

I just picked up the mounted tires now. They look pretty big. The tire is only slightly wider than the rim. I'll have to put one on and see how it looks now. I do not have a rear spring in or any weight in the car so it probably won't look right. No motor or trans but I'll try and get some kind of picture of it.

Gordon, not to knock Paul's wheels, but I really like just the spokes painted. Nice touch. Hope the paint lasts a few years before it flakes. Did you scuff them by hand, or mask & blast. Bet hand was a PITA.
