This is my first time:
I used Black Rustoleum Laquer on the first set. I cleaned and sanded, no primer.
I did tape off the tires, but still had some overspray.

I did a light sand and shot them to see how it would look.
I like the look. I will redo my wheels, but sand them down first.
This one isn't as good as the first.

I'm impressed with the quality you got from a spray can. Nice work! I think it would look really sic if you either left the center caps unpainted (a little late for that now) or hand-painted "Jeep" in silver/chrome.

Yes, they were stock aluminum before I painted them.
