So wat's the point to spray paint on a new rims?

U should drive it for a year or two den go for spraying.

Shoudn’t matter what type of metal it is. All should be able to re-spray.

Just in case you decided to be a little bit adventural. Here's some tips I got from a friend on DIY.

*****************Frank of Kelisa Club Singapore************
......I started to spray my rims of my various cars from Charade to Viki to Colt and then Vivio. I tried "all sort of patterns of spraying" and finally I did a good one for my friend's Getz and the result its perfectly good until today!

Step 1: The rim must be cleaned.

Step 2: Put the rim under the hot sun before spray job commence.

Step 3: Spray layer by layer of high temp paint onto the rim (min 3 layers) under the hot sun.

Step 4: Spray layer by layer of the colour paint of your choice (min 3 layers) under the hot sun. Recommend to use RJ and not Nippon Pylon (Famous of cracking under high temp)

Step 5: Spray layer by layer of clear paint (min 3 layers) under the hot sun.

Important note:
- Your skill of spraying determine the finish of your rims!
- Notice that I did everything under the sun.

No of cans require.....
= 2 cans of RJ high temp paint, silver
= 3 cans of RJ moonlight blue paint
= 2 cans of RJ clear paint

Total amount spent: S$35 only
