Thumbs up New wheels (finally)

Bought a set of used, graphite FX4 wheels this summer. Sanded them, a little bondo, and some paint...now they're gloss black.

Bondo? Were the wheels chipped or something?

Looks great man!

The wheels I bought had been curbed slightly. I used Duplicolor enamel paint and both duplicolor and VHT wheel clear. The Duplicolor clear sucked...spray for more than a couple seconds and it started to bubble and spit. Here are some pics of the progress.
