Refinished 264s

Edogg218 · 03-13-2013, 10:01 AM

I've refinished wheels before on other cars, and with my awesome use of brake cleaner to clean the backside of the wheels, mine were in desperate need of some new paint. I bought Dupli-color's http://www.duplicolor.com/products/wheelCoating/ wheel coating products, and began sanding with 320-grit paper.

After thoroughly sanding and cleaning, I followed the instructions on the can with two light coats and one medium coat. Then I followed up with their clear wheel coating paint in two light coats and one medium coat. I'm really impressed with the results, and while not brand-new-perfect, for $15 in materials, I can't complain.

Thanks! I'm hoping this will tide me over until I spring for some Apex EC-7s.
