I Painted my Track/AutoX Wheels the Other Day *Opinions wanted*

Nothing special, just Slips. That way if I messed up, "Who cares."

Here's how the process went.

Not sure yet. I'm gonna touch it up with a fine paint brush and see how it turns out first. If it looks like crap then I'll just redo that wheel.

love the # on the wheel I say don't do the whole lip. just do one really thin pinstripe of yellow close to the outer edge of the lip.

this reminds me an awful lot of my post from the other day with a olive wheel with red lip photoshop on my car....

EDIT: if you do the lip you'll love that red, comes out soo nice. look at my current thread titled "New Wheels!" and see how it looks on the lip.

Another EDIT: i posted a pic of the olive wheel...not sure if i posted the one with the red lip with it..

here is the pic if i didnt post it on here

if you wanted to see how it would look.

Re: (InfraRed)

i did my "track slips" the same color about 2 years ago, i just used the "camouflage" line of paint cause well they are more of a flat finish... they have held up great.. now paint the lip so we dont have matching wheels
