You still gotta black out your door handle, so it matched the rest of the pastidipped chrome

Could you help me out here, what did you use to do the wheels. I know plasti dip sells the create your own color kit, is this what you used? If so then how many kits did you buy? How quickly does it dry and how long did it take you to paint? Please and thankyou!!!

I did not use plasti-dip on the wheels.

I scuffed the wheels up using 600 grit sandpaper, and then primered with Rustoleum Sandable Primer (spray can)...did two coats of primer, and then 3 coats of Rustoleum Grabber Green Spray Paint. Finished it off with two coats of clear Rustoleum Wheel Spray Paint.
