Tah dah! Hope you guys like it. Took me the whole darn day 8 hours :Eyecrazy:. Who says i should black out my tail's as well?

nice lookin clean

nice and i like how u used flash cards i used newspaper and that takes forever lol

id say black tem out. i just recently got vht niteshades and will trying that out tomro.any1 had experience with them?

Looks good, btw your exhaust shroud is falling off.

I say don't black them out, as it looks cheesy on this car. But tint them abit to make it look darker :)

Looks good. I would've popped out the centercaps and sprayed them separate... but good job.

Need a drop now to help with the aggressive look :)

Did you paint the inside of the wheels? If so then the wheel weights are going to leave a mark the next time swap tires or get balanced.

Yeah shazy i should of tinted my tailights as well. Am i suppose to disconnect all the bulbs? I do not want to mess up taking it out haha. But hopefully ill do those today since i have my nightshade besides me.
Yeah thanks guys. Im trying to get coilovers next so i can get a big drop. Yeah my exhaust shroud is all messed up. Anyone know what i can do to fix it? maybe just buy a new one?

i've said it before, and i'll say it again. i don't like this. spray paint from can + car = bad idea.

I think I should have did this instead of buying aftermarket black ones, and yeah you should black out your tailes

looks nice maybe a little more info like what kind of paint did you use and the process

looks great... you might wanna put some more clear on them and then buff them to get a better shine :)

Am i allowed to do that after its been a day? i only put 2 clear coats because i liked that flat black look.

i think it looks nice man. the lugs really set it apart from other black oem rims. looks like a pretty good shine already...i don't think i would have the patience to do that!

yes im a person who has no patience but i was like alrite im going to do this today and finnaly got to work. Arent you suppose to not spray anything on the finished product? wouldnt it be weird if i added for example the paint or clearcoat hahaha.. -0-

nice man you wanna give me a step by step on what you did cause I am thinking about doing this to my whip but not 100% sure on how to do it

Pretty simple actually. Just takes a lot of time. Wash your wheels very well with acetone etc and then wet sand them i had only 600 sanding paper. After that i put on 3 coat of primer 30 min per coat, i guess you can do more. then 3-4 coats of the actual paint 30min per coat, then if you want to clearcoat it 30min inbetween i only did 2 coats of clearcoat but i guess you can do more if you want it more glossy.

sweet thanks man

haha np man. so hrmm anyone know if i can use "paint" over the clearcoat so i can give my rims more color? i know i can clearcoat it after the finished product but i really dont know about the "actual coating paint"
