The wheels have a clear coat over machined aluminum and over paint.
Painting Stock Rims, What Are They?
Thinking of painting the stock Volt wheels, are they painted/clear coated from the factory? Do I need to sand down to metal or just sand for smooth or just get them clean?
Tips? Need etching primer? I've never painted wheels before but have plastidip/glossified sprayed random stuff.
Have a red Volt, thinking something along the lines of bronze/copper/rose gold. If anyone's done this on a red Volt I would love to see pics and details on which paint.
Here's a photochop for a rough idea but of course it's pretty hard to tell what which paint will turn out like.
