Good job man! Black on those wheels look real good! Did you prep them so no peeling later?

For some reason I like how the door handles and trim is black idk if thats bad on my half but I like it like that after looking at my brothers car theres just a little to much milano red that helps it out some.

taped off the whole outer tire, sanded the entire rim with a 130grit(i think) sandpaper to smooth out chipped clear. then used a semi-gloss high heat black 2 coats and finished with a high performance wheel coating. I was just gonna do the spokes but it was too much taping and i like how they came out when all black anyways.

Use a deck of cards and place them between the wheel and tire all the way around. It works perfectly and best of all no taping.
