Thanks guys, the paint is holding up just fine. This is a pretty easy/cheap mod for a few hours worth of work.

Did anyone use self-etching primer after sanding and prior to painting? How about clear-coating? Any suggestions as to how many coats of each?

Rims look professionally done, great job. What size wheel spacers did you get, how did they turn out, do you feel a difference?

Thanks guys, they are 1.5" Spidertrax spacers. I don't feel any difference at all.

On the stock wheel weights, I took the Jeep over to Discount Tire before I did anything to it and asked for a re-balance of all wheels and specified they use only the interior stick-on weights they use on aftermarket wheels. So I didn't have to worry about them.... The re-balance cost like $40.
