can list out the step how u do it ? like sand it with what then spray with what then sand again or what....bla bla bla, thx, anyway nice job there ! very nice

ok..here are the steps and things needed for this simple DIY project

1. Dynamo ( used for washing clothes one)
2. Thinner ( optional)
3. 1 can clear coat ( finishing layer)
4. 2 cans spray paint ( for mine I used 2 cans )
5. Sand paper...depending on scratch u might need different coarseness
6. Lots and lots of PATIENCE!

Steps:

1. Firstly, u need to cabut the rims off from the car and wash with Dynamo. Do this 2 or 3 times to ensure that grime and oil have been completely removed. Any oil on rims will SPOIL ur project and you'll have to start over again.
3. Sandpaper the rims using the sandpaper with water. Wet ur rims from time to time with water to ensure that no dust flies around. Makes ur job easier too.
4. The rim surface must be smooth to the touch before you begin. After sanding wash again with Dynamo and water once and let the rims dry. If u want to speed up the drying process you can use hairdryer like what I did. :D
5. Tape the areas that U dun want to be painted with masking tape and newspaper. Make sure that the taping is secure o else ur work might come out ugly.
6. Spray one thin layer first. Wait for approcimately 20 minutes for the paint to dry and harden. After that spray another layer. Not too thick until the paint flows o else have to redo everything again. Make sure u can see the shine before u spray another layer. For mine I had 4 layers of paint.
7. Ok, after paint dried and ur satisfied with ur handiwork it is time for the finishing touch ---> clear coat!
8. The steps are pretty much the same with paint. Need to see the shine b4 u stop and let it dry o else it won't be shiny. Recommended is 3 layers.
9. Sit back, relax and admire ur handiwork.

Please refer to the pics for info. Sorry not many pics i can upload. Enjoy DIY! :P
