Now, all we need to do is clean and mask off the polished areas, and paint the spokes. I had my friend Lonnie Ho, at Evil Ways Customs in Escondido, Calif., wield the spray gun on these. First, we wiped the wheels down with Acetone, to draw out any leftover polishing compound out of the wheels. Next, we used some "rattle can" self-etching primer, to give the final finish some "tooth" to bond to, and finished up with a coat of gray.
