A lot less than what you'd get with 2 hours work and $30 in paint.

Default A good job takes much more than that. I did mine some time ago. They were pretty bad but turned out.

I used a detail sander with 2 different grits, aside from drying time it took 2 hours for perfection

Default Prep takes for ever to get them perfect. Painting, I used auto paint and a pro spray gun.

Any pics of "perfection"? I was thinking of redoing my A4 wheels with a spray can.
