the wheels look good! did those prelude seats bolt right in or did you have to fabricate them?

those are 15's.. umm for the prelude seats 2 bolts fit but you have to extend the other 2.. its pretty easy.. i got them for free so.. i didn't have a problem doing that

Re: Painted my wheels today and some more pics for ***** and giggles (TEAM JSJ)
i don't have a better pic and i used my friends camera but its called dupli-color and
the i used was graphite gray you can get it at pretty much any auto parts stores..
as for steps i first used some cleaner and cleaned them good
next sanded them down for about an hour
then i got my blower and blew them dry
deflated the tires then inserted the note cards
then sprayed lighly

[QUOTE]Looks good, here's a set of 94 GSR's I did:
what kind of paint did you use to do that set of GSR's?
do you have to prime them, and gloss them or whatever?
they look GREAT!!

I orginally stripped them down with aircraft stripper and had them polished for a few years. I primered them with auto prime inside and out. Then I sprayed them with Duplicolor low gloss black and many coats of clear. I wet sanded them with 1500 then 2000 grit afterwards and buffed them with rubbing compound so the clear is very smooth. It took away from the low gloss look but they haven't chipped from road grime and rocks. I masked off the outer lip and left it polished.
