Friends call me Tex, I'm new here, I own a 2005 Dodge pickup, some ATV's and a 2004 C5 Corvette Coupe that I enjoy working on. I have recently bought some Z06 wheels and would like to paint them myself? Are there any tutorials or tips available for the do it yourselfers? I have a compressor and garage full of tools and feel comfortable I could do it, just looking for some tips from those that might have done this already!

Thank you for the advice!

You have all sorts of toys! BTW welcome to the smokinvette. If you have a spray gun I bet you could do it yourself. Not sure I would try to paint with just spray cans of paint? Are you going to color match to car?

I do have a paint gun to use with my compressor. Its nothing fancy, and has never been used. I guess I hoping to get some ideas of whats the best paint to use, procedures, etc.
