I have an 04 LS aveo.
I am getting to fixing it up, and my dad surprised me with some plastidip paint. 4 cans of it. I was talking about blacking the rims out and whatnot.
How does one properly go about painting their rims? If it helps, I have Kosei racing rims on it, Attachment 7982
Also, how would one Remove the wing from the hatch? I didn't notice many bolts or anything distinguishing a removal.
pull rim off the car, wash your rims, be sure they are dry and free of water droplets ( if that's even a word) put index cards between the rim and the tire by wedging them in, then spray the hell out of each rim- I do at least 6 light coats. If u are cheap on the coverage it wont peel off right and u will be scrubbing it off with goo b gone or goof off, I also wrap the valve stem with masking tape. I love this stuff because it is reversible, I even plan on spraying my new rims just to protect the new shiny lip. Hope this helps
I would paint your brake hub while your are at it too. That would make it look nice.
I'd love to see how this turns out, I'm doing mine with plasti dip soon I'm.excited

Advice: use about a can per wheel. If u do not get a thick enough coverage it will not peel off. U will be scrubbing ur ass off with good offs.and a sponge
