It just goes on top of the can and when u press the handle it pushes down on the rattle cans nozzle. I found it made it more like using a spray gun, it has a more even flow and starts and stops nicer. I found with the spray can some of the nozzles were harder to depress which made it hard to get a good flow and stop it, plus it gets hard on your finger if u are doing all 4 wheels at once.

 

^ maybe i should respray mine using th nozzle

 

Finally took my winters off this past weekend. I also decided to paint my stockers before I threw them on. Here are my results! . I know...I know...I need a drop. It's next on my list (if I ever get around to it).






Some quick shots of Phyllis with her refinished shoes on. Dirty as hell cause it rained this morning .




Good writeup Boondoc .

 

Looks amazing. Makes me want to sand mines down and start over, lol. You welcome.

 

lol I screwed up on two of the wheels' clear coats. I oversprayed a bit on the last coat and it ran down the sides of the spokes a tiny bit. You'd never notice from casually looking, but it sticks out like a sore thumb to me.

 

Trust me i kno the feeling, i stopped lookin at my wheels for that very reason, lol. But shhhhh..... no one else has to kno.

 

Good write up! How does this method hold up in comparison to plasti-dip?

 

Its holds up pretty well. I sold the wheels about 3 months ago though so I'm not sure how they are right now lol.

 

Looks like its been awhile since any one has updated how the paint is holding up? I just got my RA a few weeks ago and have been wanting to get my wheels powdercoat in satin black, but found out how freakin expensive it is! Been reading thru this thread and it sounds like a good way to start out. Any updates for a lil lady?

 

I found a place to Powdercoat my wheels for 200 bucks all four.

 

This is not something beginners should be doing, it takes many years to become a good painter,and something like your wheels should only be powder coated
