Painted the ZQ8 Wheels Today,

[OrlandoXtreme]

Well Last weeks painting of the Xtreme wheels went ok so I figured I'd take a shot at touching up my ZQ8's

Did the typical taping off, sanding the painted areas with 400 grit and cleaning them, I esed 2 coats of Gloss black engine paint, and 2 coats of Clear, Overall, another few hours to do and makes the 5 star machined surface "pop"

Well The lug nut covers could use some black paint to them, they are a little faded, Leaving the actual center chrome though, I'll take a few shots further away, Really want to take more pics of the whole truck but its waiting to be painted withing the next few weeks,

now you need to sand the spokes until they look like the center caps.
