Sounds like a plan Doc!
Thanks

Black over white is a problem when it comes to chipping. If you are only
useing the wheels for the slicks and will not be on the car all the time
why not just scuff them with 400# sandpaper and use any generic flat
black spray paint and top cote it with gloss clear of the same brand for
protection. A gloss clear will turn a flat paint into a semi gloss with
better protection than if you apply'd semi clear. Also apply the clear
within 10 min. of applying the last cote of the flat black as it makes
the clear really bite into the black for good adhesion. There should be
no real chipping problem with good preporation.

use 400# sandpaper. If there are some rust issiues either sand blast
them or hand sand the rusted areas with 80# then 220# and then 400#. Use
Duplicolor rattle can Spot Filler & Primer. It will give you good build
up. A finish sanding with 400# to prep them before the final cote of
paint is applied and you are all set. Flat paint is hard to keep clean
and looking new. Eastwood Restorations (www.eastwood.com) has wheel
paints and kits. I just got a new catalog in the mail last night. If you
are going to use the Magnum 500 wheels they have a kit to paint them. It
works on 14 & 15 inch wheels, it comes with satin black paint. You can
buy their satin black paint seperately. I have use their charcoal gray
ralley wheel paint in the past with great success. I was trying to
decide on what co lor to use to detail the turbine wheels I have on the
orange Hornet. I was between useing the same orange that the car is
painted or the charcoal gray in between the spokes. I think I will go
for the gray as it is more subtle. I don't want this car to stick out
from the crowd like the yellow flamed one since it is just a clean
driver.

Thanks Doc,
These are brand new rims. The are white wagons for my slicks. I want to paint em black so they don't stick oout so much. Being new do I still have to prime them or can I just hit em with 400 and them paint? Are there any spray cans you would reccommend that I could get at walmart? Budget is tight here.
Thanks I will definitly need to get the 500 paint kit when I go to do them over.
