Painting rally II wheels
5 Attachment(s)
Just got done sandblasting epoxy priming and painting a set of rally II wheels. I have to say what a pain. taping off the silver. Took me 3 hours to tape 4 wheels. This was the first time I used 3M fine line tape. I am impressed on how clean it lifts after painting. If you ever have to paint and have a clean transition, use this tape.
I ended up using single stage Urethane metalic paint on top of the epoxy. Came out glossy but that was what I wanted. |
nice ... one time i used body color in place of the argent (med blue metallic) looked pretty good too but i used the chrome trim rings with mine
|
Looks great!
What paint line & codes did you use? |
I have been using the coating store https://www.thecoatingstore.com/
Excellent paint for the price. I used their paint for 3 cars with no complaints. I used charcoal grey metallic and iridium silver. |
I used those stick on vinyl masking cut outs made for the spokes. Goes way easier than hand masking everything.
|
Those wheels look great. The charcoal grey is perfect unlike a lot of rally 2 wheels Ive seen done where the charcoal grey is way too light.
Have you used their paint to paint the car with? |

Yes painted 3 cars with their paint. 2 single stage and 1 bc/cc. I was very happy with the way the paint laid down and polished. I went with their top of the line clear on the bc/cc.

have to add, their hot rod black looks great under the hood.
|
Did you use their kit when you painted the cars? It looks like the kits come with a gallon of base and a gallon of clear and all the hardeners and reducers.

yes
