94-95 Ex Rims Touching Up

[kmart64]

What kind of paint should I use so that I can retail the gloss and aluminum like look of the stock rims? I don't want to use something like duplicolor for the wheels, because it just makes it silverish/grey and lose its mirror like look if you know what I mean? ty

why dont you just polish it up with mothers mag and aluminum polish

[kmart64]

because there are kinda big scratches and things that won't come out, so I must paint it...not even sanding takes it out so thats why...also, what color do u think these rims would be called? stainless steel, aluminum, chrome-ish? just throwing out some names

the wheels are machined with a clear coat, so if you have deep scratches, it won't look any different if you paint it.

they're aluminum alloy. later.

I might try sanding mine, I have scratches too. Any tips for sanding them? I used some Mothers Mag & Aluminum and that stuff kicks ass. Even did my 'chrome' trim with it.

SAND BLAST, POWDER COAT...thats the way to go

Really depends on the damage.....you can sand them out starting with a low grit paper and working your way up to a high grit.....takes time though...even if you have curbs or deep scratches you can do it.....up to you

You'll never get a paint that matches a factory machined finish....if you just want to spray them silver go with Duplicolor silver wheel paint that is made to resist brake dust etc.

Good luck
