So I decided to tackle repainting my stock wheels before winter and I'd like opinions and help. I plan on painting them summit white again.
First off, did all the '91 wagon wheels come with the chrome lip? My wheels did but my friend's,(BoostedAWD91), did not have the chrome lip. Or maybe someone painted over his. Which is something I haven't decided yet, If I should leave the chrome lip or just paint over it. Anyone have any opinions?
Second, did the diamonds on the center caps come painted red from the factory? I also want to do this but I'm not sure what color red was used if they came like that. Anyone know?
I have a rough idea on how to do the prep...
Sand them and remove all the flaking paint. Not sure if I'm going to use a wire wheel, sand paper, steel wool, wet sand them or what yet.
Then I'll probably use a self etching primer.
Then probably clean them with some paint thinner or mineral spirits?
Now as far as paint goes I want them summit white again. I found this website that sells aerosol spray cans but $20 a can is expensive. click
Also which is the summit white paint code? AC10796 or W09?
I thought about using designated wheel paint but it doesn't look like you can get it in any color you want.
Also should I clear coat them?
Any help would be welcome.
