Painted My Wheels
 
3 Attachment(s)
Was a nice sunny Friday, and we had release formation at 1200 which is practically unheard of for my company so I decided to do something with the day and paint my wheels.

How many coats? Looks kinda thin. Maybe it's just the pictures.

Yeah it does. What paint did you use? I have done this a few times and have been happy with it. Poor man's james bond.

jdm duplicolor bronze paint can't help those old Borbet wheels. It'd be like rolling with a set of crager wheels on your rex and think painting will make them look better. Cool color though. Find some stock buzzsaw si wheels.

Ding ding ding, yeah Duplicolor bronze. It is kind of thin, i was running out of paint and daylight just wanted to see how it would look on the car.

Painted mine as well, first time sanding it down and painting, I know all the tricks and am planning on doing it again! These used to have a chrome lip, and the clear coat was chipping, and the paint was faded.
