I think it looks like dog ----, but you probably already knew that. ;D

Unless the finish is fucked up, you don't have to take the old finish off. Just scuff them with like 400 grit, prime, and paint. Aircraft carrier remover? Is that a military tactic?

Well I wanted an accurate spray pattern so thats why I just oversprayed the wheels onto the tire. I read about that aircraft remover stuff on honda-tech. I guess a few people did it there. Oh well

I just did the wheels on my work van because the rust on them looked like doggy ish. I used masking tape and it actaully has enough flex in it to mask all the way around the wheel. (for next time) ;)

Same here, almost. Green painters masking tape + newspaper. I did mine flat black, I don't like gloss black wheels.

When you get new tires, everything will look 10x better because that overspray really takes a lot away from it.

I just cleaned them with TSP and scrubbed the ---- out of them. I bought two packs of 3X5 note cards and used those block off the tires. I'm still debating what color to do though. I have a black car, so I might just keep the silver.
