Subject:painting alloy wheel caps

I painted the caps for my alloy wheels this weekend. Much of the original
paint had flaked off and they were pretty ugly. I used 400 grit sandpaper to
smooth the edges of the remaining paint and spray painted the caps with
Hammmerite spray paint. The color I used is "Smooth Aluminum" (part # 75995
10052) and it is a perfect match for the original color. Be sure to use the
smooth finish paint and not the "hammered" finish. This is great paint--I
bet it outlasts the original by a long shot.
