    Default R/T Wheel restoration?

    Has anyone tackled restoring your oem silver r/t wheels yourself? I know theres people that do it for a fee but looking at low buck diy alternatives.
    I guess the first place to start is where to get the silver paint and clearcoat in a rattle can from?
    If you have done it please post pics of your handy work.

    Please move thread to paint if thats where it belongs, I wasnt sure

    Jim and I did a set rattle can from Lowes with a clear coat over it looks dam close to the Sparkle silver factory maybe a touch lighter and brighter.

    I used this on 2 silver R/T wheels. The result almost exactly matched the original finish.
    Great stuff!

    thanks for the reply, Ill look for the duplicolor at walmart. I would just like to do my front wheels for now, the rears almost still look mint after cleaning i guess cause I never rotated them to the front and they never got that nasty brake dust on them.
