y0! Team Panda in effect. Today me and Chris (EF8 ownz U) spent the afternoon painting my 16" Lenso VPDs flat black. We took some pics along the way. Chris was sooooo happy with the results that he decided to do his stock crx si sawblades the same way and represent the "Panda" look.....

Chris also changed my front brake pads after 2 trips to Checker cause the dumb *** barely english speakin dude at the counter gave us the wrong brake pads the 1st time around.

On with some pics...

Dang your wheels look good b4 and after i think i need to do something with my mesh after seeing this nice job

nice job

 

DIY

 

Look good.

Did you use any kind of primer?

 

Nope no primer just scuffed them really good with 3M pads. We've done a couple sets of wheels with out using primer and they are still around looking good to this day. I used DUPLICOLOR flat black 500 degree paint on the 16s, Chris used the Krylon stuff.

Thanks for the compliments!

 

came out looking good. im in the process of painting my wheels as well!

I thought about it, but its not polished and I just got rid of sub-zero's with a polished lip and this has been the look i've wanted for a long time.

 

nice dudes

They werent bad the way they were, but they were kind of old and beat up. Scratches and scuffs, so I wanted to clean them up. I like both ways, but this just looks so much better to me.

Thanks for the compliments guys.
