Eastwood wheel sparkle silver
I very much recommend  Still need to let cure 2-3 hours and then add the clear eastwood topcoat, and remove my masking, but i am very impressed with the results i got 
Before
After
Happy family

Thanks for posting this. When I need tires on the T/A I'm going to have to refinish the wheels...

Absolutely Bill! The picture really doesn't catch the finish exactly, but in person, they look OEM finished. Definitely a quality kit, for 30 bucks

Thanks CMV, the hardest part by far was getting them paint-free, but it's beginning to pay off

Will do Chris. As soon as the weather promises no father threat of road salt, they are going on. After all that, if I put them on and it decides to snow, I may as well not even have a car LOL

They actually dulled out a bit during the 3 hour cure time....i topped them off with the required 2 part high gloss clear, they really popped!

Nizzzze! They really came out looking like the factory finish. Don't forget to do the inside of the wheel also as they will be easier to clean and it will add to that new wheel look.

Looks great! love painting wheels. It's such a cheap mod and can really bring the life back on a set of old wheels.

Last two pics as to not bore the death out of anyone lol. The centercaps don't match exactly, but i really dont mind the contrast (or the dirt inside the rims. I know.....I also know i would NEVER keep up on it either) New valve stems and centercaps installed....Next mention will be after the tires are on and on the car
Love it
