painting rims...dont freak out

[lilbear6889]

Dumb question.. but since im learning this stuff as I go i figure i'd ask....

If i take the wheels off.. do i have to get an alignment done afterwards? or can i take them off paint em, and put em back.. and if so can i rotate them without any problem???

Figure id ask the dumb question, someone else might need to know too lol

Thanks for asking cuz i was wondering that too lol...i wanna paint the calipers tryin to build up the courage cuz im scared to mess them up!!!

If you are not mechanically inclined just get the brush kit, put the car on up on jack stands, pull the wheel off, clean the calipers, brush them, put wheel back on, lower, wait for 24 hours to let them cure.

Make sure to do 2 coats because I only did one and this spring they look nasty, I have to do them again.
