My weekend project - to clean up and refinish my set of 996/boxster Twist track wheels. So I headed down to my local AutoZone and picked up a few cans of the Dupli-Color Wheel paint in bronze. yep...bronze. Why you ask? Cuz I like it, that's why. ![burnout](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/burnout.gif)
So I scrubbed them with Simple Green, then sanded them till I had no fingerprints left. Cleaned them again with lacquer thinner and stated painting. And the results (from 5' away) look pretty darn good if I say so myself.
2 coats of bronze on the outside with a coat of black on the inner portion of the rim. I then clear coated the lot with a good couple of coats.

Hmmmmmmmm........ I like that and recently decided its my 17" boxster twists that is getting new tires. I wonder how it would look on red. Was it a PITA to paint around the porsche crest?
