Painted my oem wheels today....

Well hopefully I'm the first in the club to paint it this way, but ive only seen one pic which gave me the idea and that pic was jus a random pic... If I am the only one whooo hoo if not then oh well I hope you guys like it.. Cuz I do btw, I didn't make any close up shots because I'm not the best painter in town so it looks more professionally done from far. If u have to know what steps first sand, tape it off, couple coats of primer (some kind of general primer), couple coats of black from duplicolor rim paint and couple coats of clear from duplicolor all with the rims still on the car...

What is going on with the hood fitment at the windshield? The gap is way too big.

^ I'm think he's got a set of hood dampers installed. I've seen hoods the same way with this mod
