So Rob and I painted my wheels yesterday. Wasn't the best job, but we did pretty good for a first time DIY. Mother nature gave us a lot of trouble with the high temps, humidity, and wind. Everything was going perfect till we started spraying the paint. It wouldn't go on smoothly and kept bubbling due to temps and humidity. They look good from far away, but not so much from up close. Probably gonna wet sand and refinish them at some point. I kind of wanted a bit darker color for them, which I might try for the refinish. Another thought I had was to try painting the lugs red to match the brakes. What do you guys think?
