hot tip for serious players: If it's raining, you aint painting. The added moisture in the air mixes with the paint as it is sprayed. The result is 'ghosted' paint, that has a milky look. If you don't have a choice and MUST spray in the rain, set up a bar heater and a fan inside, wait for the room temp to rise to about 20 degrees c and then give it a crack. I'd wait though, the best jobs are done on mild, clear days with low humidity.

you guys are brilliant. i curbed my wheels, took it to get refurbished but not paint.
now i can paint it with no worries! nz prices are crazy. just because i have nice wheels don't mean you can overcharge me like that. i got a quote from this place, costing me about 369nzd for wheel repair and paint.
thxs for saving me a shit load of money

Had this happen to me today, Slight curb damage to the front wheel(not enough worry about) but completely ruined the back one: ( On passenger side, wheels were not even a week old: All because a van driver lost control of his van and I had to mount the curb to avoid it: (

Hey I just wanted to say thanks for the lesson! I was able to pick up a sick set of wheels for dirt cheap because one wheel had been curbed and the owner thought it was a worthless set. Well I followed your video and now have a sweet set of wheels! Cheers!

Too little. my wheel was pretty much square (no but it felt like it. when to a rim repair. they said it was (I bought it second hand) was expensive rims. so they would try to fix it. but they destroyed it. Drifting a 200SX can be expensive: -)

I had these exact wheels on my JDM 01 Legacy GT-B, refinished them in performance bronze from a can and they turned out amazing with the clear coat.
Theres a pic of them on my Instagram if anyone would care to see lol

. or better still, save yourself the hassle and money. If you own a ute, take your spare wheel winder with you down to the local dealership at about 3am and pinch 4 spare wheels off new utes. Bingo, 4 new rims, and 4 new tyre's.
