well, i finished my wheel painting project and im happy with the results, the previous pics i posted have long since changed. here are some pics i took tonight
any comments are welcome, i didnt juice the tires mainly cuz i didnt want any silicone to get in the air. peace

 

looks great
that 3.5" card trick does wonders
makes cleanup a breeze
my first time doing it the masking tape and newspaper drove me crazy

Nice..I like the color

 

puuuurdy wheels.

 

looks nice whats kind of wheels are they?

 

That is a sick color, looks really good.

 

I want to paint my wheels the same color. What is that paint called? (Gun Metal?)( ). Did you use a clear coat too?. And how much total did it cost you?

 

damn that 3.5 card is a neat trick. I just painted my GSR's and i used a hole **** load of tape

 

lookin good

 

Looks real good........
Is that bronze?

 

the wheels are Power Racing (advan RG copies) and for paint i used 1 can primer, 4 cans of Rustoleum: Black Night Metallic and 2 cans of Rustoleum: Clear


thanks for all the replys, ill have some pics of them on my car soon

 

dave the wheels look great, and for some strange reason, as soon as i saw the name "14eight" i had this feeling it would be you! again, good job on the wheels, and get ready for this race season bro!

Looks good. My friend did the same thing with this Konig Traffics, which I think look exactly the same.

Good job.

 

what kind of prep work do you need to do? did you wet sand?

 

Thank you

 

looking good

 

Nice!

looks pretty good.

 

i just used some paint thinner to clean and dull the surface, i primered them, then put a light coat of paint, used a heat gun, and then a wet coat, and then two coats of clear coat. Thanks for all the replies
