R56 Spray painted rims
Spray painted rims
Does anyone have any pics of their stock rims that they have sprayed painted with wheel spray. I am deciding if want to attempt it on mine. I don't want the cheap o look on my car and am afraid of that.
The only thing I can say if you are thinking about doing this: Make sure you do all your prepwork is spot on. Get those wheels clean, sand them smooth as a baby's butt, clean them again and spray evenly. Don't do it outside where crap can get in the paint either. That's what makes a paint job look cheap, bad prepwork.
Looks good! What grit sandpaper would anyone suggest I use. Also my Mini is British Racing Green, what color do you thik would oook good on her, black, gunmetal, i am leaning towards the gun metal but i think i may like a gloss black as well.
There are some pretty good YouTube videos that can help you with rattle can spraying your wheels. I've also done this with a buddies wheels and they turned out pretty well. As stated above, just make sure your prep work before the paint is as good as it gets. That will determine how they turn out. I posted a good video for you below. I think a gun metal or for some reason maybe copper would look good. Would be different. Otherwise, black always looks good on BRG.
