So if anyone has any tips for prepping the wheels for painting it would be greatly appreciated: primer?, how many base coats?, clear coats? Keep in mind that I am not an experienced painter.
Be careful not to over do the white. You don't want it to look like the Good-Humor guy's car. I think the grill looks great.
