Camaro Progress!!

After I bought the car and cleaned 1/2 inch thick brake dust off the rims. When I first saw the car and in a video I have on my phone it looked like they were painted..

It's amazing how just a little elbow grease can really make a car shine sometimes. Looks 100 times better than before.

Re: Camaro Progress!!

I used dollar store black gloss. And I have to sand them down again cuz the can shot aerosol and spidered up the paint. But it works great just regular spray paint worked fine for me.
