Lol Garasi Auto or something. He doesnt have a shop or anything. If you are interested I'll get in contact with him for you. Did the same for DAN. Worked out great and everyone was happy.

Hey chrischris, when you sprayed your rims, do you spray the inside of the rims or just the outside? I wonder what it looks like if I don't paint the inside

It would be great if you have a close up photo of your white rims LOL. Cheers

Which rims you asking about?
The stock rims i didnt spray the inside, just the face of the rim, on the current evo8's i sprayed the inside, it looks better sprayed on the inside i reckon, ill see what photos i can find, as my wife is out with the car atm. I sold the stock wheels to Moro95, he might be able to get you some more photos.

The evo rims LOL but ok ill spray the inside. Did you spray the face first, wait for it dry and then spray the inside? Or just stand it up and spray? lol How did you do it?

Don't plastidip them. Its way more expensive then paint, the finish is not that great, in order for it to peel easily you need to do 2-3 heavy coats which means around 3-4 cans.

I did two coats on the face, after they dried for some time, i sprayed in 10 degree weather so dry time will vary. For the inside i just used a mild scuffing pad prior to rough it up a little(in the prep stage, before any paint), no primer though. Then I stood the wheel up and did a light coat on the inside, let it dry, then did a heavy coat to cover everything not worrying about runs in the paint just coverage, and then finished the face with a few more coats.

I had to spray the inside since the hub of the wheel is really big and would look bad if not painted completely from behind
