Painting Limited Five Star Wheels: Questions/Advice Needed
I am considering painting my Limited five star wheels. I have never done something like this before, and a mistake could be expensive.
1. What is the best prep/procedure method?
2. What paint brand is best?
3. What color most closely matches the Limited five star color?
I have new tires waiting at the shop, and I'd like to get these painted up before hand as they will be much easier to manuever and take up less space without the tires mounted.
Thanks in advance.

I painted mine with duplicolor wheel paint, it dries quick, really easy to use.
This might help, I posted the paint I used in post #15

check out the por-15 site, I recall they have a alloy wheel refinishing kit, with stripper to remove the clear coat, polishing compound, and super hard clear to re-paint them. Could be a really tough nice finish.

kinda pricey though.
