Refinishing OEM Turbo Twist Porsche Wheels

I then worked the filler down with a 3M 320 grit sponge block moving onto 400 and 600 grit wet / dry paper wrapped around rubber profiles for the center / spoke areas and used a wooden paint stir stick for the outside / edge areas. Patience required here, I filled / sanded 3 separate times to get it perfectly smooth. After that I scuffed up the finish with a Scotch Brite type pad to ensure a good bite for the paint.





After a wipe down with the Paint Prep I applied the Self Etching Primer:



After drying 24 hours I applied the Duplicolor Silver as a base coat prior to the Wurth (much more expensive) paint, Note how "Metallic" the paint is compared to OEM Porsche wheels:

I then applied two coats of the Wurth paint on top of the Duplicolor, notice how much more uniform and silver it looks compared to the Duplicolor, MUCH more like the OEM paint:




I then utilized the Duplicolor Gloss Clear paint (2 thin, topped off by a third "wet" coat) to give them their final finish. Popped in the OEM centers and am still waiting on the new metal valve stems to be delivered from SunCoast:







I've paid to have wheels professionally finished in the past, but I got to admit I was floored at how these turned out using bomb cans when these were finished, I'd say they are 90 plus percent as nice as what I dropped money on for others to do in the past. Probably $50 to $70 dollars in materials used depending upon what you may already have lying around.
