this isnt finished, almost done with the gold, still need some more coverage on the spokes before clear

but you get the idea


i wanted to polish the lips, but one of them is just too curbed to bother with polishing

Looks super clean. Are you using a gun, or are you some sort of spraybomb ninja?

should look killer when your done

spraybomb ninja FTW

the only problem i have, the picture doesnt show is, the metallic gold spray was blowing chunks at time (typical of aerosol) so they arent completely smooth. but i can live with it.

im uploading the freshly cleared ones now.

i still have the badly curbed wheel to work on, i left it outside in the sun after the first coat of primer and left the house....then i forgot about them and it rained on them. the primer never cured and looked like hell.

you can see in these pictures the chunks i am talking about.

im not too worried about it tho. should still look good

in the sun

Hells yes get some clear on those things, looks awesome!

three are done, one of them needs work.

its got alot of marks in them.

i dont want to go through the trouble of filling them, but i dont want it to look like ***** either.


still debating what im going to do.

although i need them done now so that they will be ready for the meet, i need a week for them to cure before i can reinstall the tires without effing them up

tip when spry bombing lol put all the cans in really hot water the paint will go on alot smoother after that

i warmed them in the sun.

i did get a spot of water on one, dunno how i did, but i had to quick fix one of the wheels.

you can still see the mark where the water drop was, but it will be ok.

finishing them up with final coats of clear now.

if the sun would come out for a good week ill bake em in the sun for a few days

got them on.

mounting the tires scraped some of the paint offf, as well as balancing them..pretty pissed off. i should have used a better quality paint.

not sure if i like the gold as much as i would white. so if i redo them i may redo them in white

NICE Dude...
Clean up those side skirts / moldings, and things should be looking super clean.

Get some forever black for that side trim...it will make it look like new!

i planned on fixing the side trim, wiper arms, wiper cowl etc soon

This is what pisses me off. all the time and prep and everything and this paint just sucks.

even gave them a week to cure

ill have to redo them with something better. an acrylic enamel is the strongest thing i can get in aerosol form.

god it sucks

That sucks bro.... i wonder if the actual rim paint they sell at like advance is any more durable than that

yes its an acrylic enamel. the only thing is they only carry a couple of colors.

i could do them in bronze instead of gold

or i could gunmetal them. i already have two cans of duplicolor wheel coating gun metal in my parents garage

that probably wouldnt look bad.... i am pretty sure that they had white, i used to work there and i think white was one of the colors unless they discontinued it or something

I know im kinda behind on the times but those wheels look great on your car dude. At first I thought they were the mugens

I know I'm late too, but I like them with no side moldings like Jareds hatch. Good job on the wheels
