Painting oem wheels

As the title says, i painted my oem wheels gloss black. They have been matte black plasti dipped for about 6 months and i decided that a gloss finish matches my bmw better. This was done with spray paint. I have painted litterally thousands of wheels prior to this so it was not a big deal.

If anyone wants to paint their wheels and wants tips or has questuons, i am happy to share. Done correctly the results look perfect for years.

Couple questions as I was tackling this over the weekend.

Did you use Sp*****x 2K clear?

How do you get in between really tough narrow spokes? I was doing M5 343 wheels, and it was really hard to get coverage in tight places.
