Default Painted the Wheels on the Foreman

I decided i was gonna paint my wheels on my foreman this morning.seemed like an easy and cheap way of changing the look but i took some pics and figured i'd share the process. Pretty easy just time consuming. so i went to the part store and picked duplicolor's wheel paint. got one can of black and one can of clear coat, some painters masking tape, & the scotch brite pads. Cost about 23$ for everything. Tape off the tire and valve stem so you dont get paint on it. scrub the rim with scotch brite pads to rough it up, blow off dust, paint it with black" i did 2 light coats and 1 medium coat" with about 2 minutes between each, let it sit for about 5 minutes and clear it. again 2 light 1 meduim, then let it dry. I gave it about 20 minutes and they were dry enough to put back on. Take your time on the preperation pays off in the end.

I like the black rims. I bought my used foreman with black SS rims on it. Black just looks better.

My uncle painted his stock Rancher wheels with a shiny silver, and they look a lot better. They accually look like stock aluminum wheels, instead of the plain grey.
