nice rim job

millerlight 08-20-2008 03:56 AM

what type of paint did u use for the red?

N rider89 08-20-2008 05:09 AM

it looks great but you have to do those center caps. the "m" separates from the silver back ground so it looks clean.

newroeboy 08-21-2008 11:51 AM

the caps will be a bitch to do.

dillsrotary 08-21-2008 11:54 AM

Actually looks pretty damn good, congrats

chnzxb0i 08-21-2008 07:26 PM

Alucard 08-22-2008 04:33 PM

looks good, now get rid of those damn swirls on your car :)

flipRx8 09-04-2008 01:19 AM

those are veryy clean...good job! ... now im thinking of painting my rims

PBlue 09-04-2008 07:05 AM

not all center caps have the M come off... I have had 3 different sets. Of the 12 caps, 5 did, 7 did not.
for my track rims, just lightly sanded the whole thing and painted over the whole damn thing. Fast, easy... Feasy.

ILoveFI 09-06-2008 03:57 PM

Okay, you've convinced me, I'm painting a lip on my rims... Something I should have done a while ago :shifty

think it would look cleaner with black calipers.

nvrfalter 09-07-2008 03:53 AM

one of the best stock rim paintjobs ive seen. especially for doing it yourself. but for me, such a hot color combo looks hotter on a hotter rim. catch my drift? pic whore time....
