Here's how to paint your rims a custom two tone color scheme at home with professional results.

As alloy wheels age, they accumulate road grime, chips, bubbles and curb rash making your car look very old and worn. Restoring the wheels gives the car a refreshed look, and depending on the color scheme, it could make OEM wheels look custom.

The two tone color scheme, with black on the inside of the rim and spokes and silver on the outside of spokes, has been in style on newer cars and custom rims as of the past few years.

This video dives into the procedure on how to properly prepare the wheel on a Honda Accord:
- sanding, cleaning and degreasing
- masking the tire
- applying two coats of primer
- apply two coats of background colored paint
- reverse masking for the foreground color
- apply two coats of silver paint
- demasking and wet sanding the edges
- two layers of clear coat

Duplicolor wheel and rim paint was used for the silver face of the rim, while Duplicolor wheel and rim clear coat was used as the final layer to add protection and shine. A black enamel was used as the background color.

These paints work great with metal or alloy wheels, however they take at least 7 days to properly cure. Be careful when mounting them during this time period, and wait until after they've cured before sending them for tire mounting or balancing since that might damage the rim.

When the clear coat is applied during high humidity, such as during rainfall, it will initially appear cloudy on the rim. Not to worry however, once the humidity decreases and the clear coat dries, it will become clear.

Coverage: one can of the Duplicolor paint or clear is enough for 2-3 wheels, depending on how many layers and how much surface area of the wheel is being painted.

Painting the rims a two tone color, in addition to painting the brake calipers and drums a contrasting color really added flare and personality to what was otherwise a drab family car.
