Rota Repaint....again
I got a set of Slip's about 2 years ago that were black. I wasnt big on black so I repainted them to this **** brown color called "Desert tan" I just used them as temporary wheels so I could get the stock wheels redone. They were in pretty bad shape.
Well I finally plan to hit an auto-x or two this year and thought I'd rather roll on somthing other than **** brown rims so I got some duplicolor "graphite" and went to town this afternoon. Heres the result.
Mind you, I didnt take alot of time on these. I just used a deck of playing cards around the edge for "masking" and taped off the valve stem. Honestly though, for no sanding or prep other than a good cleaning they turned out rather well. As soon as I get some new lugs I'll put them on and take some pics. Like I said, they are just going to be my auto-x wheels.
UPDATE
Just got them on

Anodized color maybe...
Still, very nice "brah"
