How to Paint Your Rims [HD]

Hey guys this is a little (crammed) 10 minute tutorial on how to paint your own rims AT HOME on your own. I've already did this once to my car a year ago but I grinded on a few curbs since then so I'm repainting them this year.

You will need:
- Duplicolor Paint (for rims only)
- Duplicolor Prep wipe
- Masking Tape
- Lots of news papers
- Car Soap
- A Jack
- Optional: A spare
- (for me) 5 hours

The Duplicolor paint can be found at any autozone store for JUST $5 BUCKS! You can read more about it and watch their own tutorial here:

The Basics in the nutshell:
- Remove wheels
- Clean wheels hardcore
- Wipe dry with paper towel
- (optional) sun dry
- Mask off area
- Wipe with duplicolor prepwipe
- Paint color then clear
- Dry to touch in 1 hour
- Drivable in 24 hours

Umm... I hope you guys enjoy the video and its informative to you! Any questions, please post!

@rcdude747 I painted my brakes/calipers a week after painting these rims black. I can't really make a video about painting my breaks though =/ because I've already done it. Would you like me to just do a talk-through type video?
