i polished my si rims and painted gunmetal inside the spokes and man took me about 5hrs per wheel .. also, bought a oem headlights and painted it with matching gunmetal paint.. is my car yey or nah???... don't worry imma dumped it for the hell of it.. i mean dumped.. peace

here's the pixors CC comments are welcome
:cool:













a lots of pic but ive spent a lot of time polishing the rims and DIY the headlights and it was worth the time and money spent enjoy:D

 

the wheels look really good and the headlights came out pretty good too.

 

headlights looks great

 

looks good.

 

ty guys..heheh... polishing wheels sucks, this is the last time imma do this..hehe..it worth it tho

 

i posted a link to this thread in one i started a while back abotu painting 9-00 si rims

edit: what did you do to make a smooth curve around the spokes when masking them off?

 

i <3 polished wheels

 

hehe..tape the polished part in the edges and after the paint dries.. sand it .. i have a mouse sander and i used a wool type so it wont burn the paint and eat it.. go around the edges carefully and it turned out great.. i hate the masking and the aircrat remover part..hehe..it needs to be close to perfect or it will look like crap.. polishing is very time consuming but very very worth the time it was a fun project.. i love it

 

 

ty

 

I did the same exact thing with my wheels. Good job.

 

hehehe.. people said why did i painted the inside gunmetal and it looked like a brake dust buildup? i told them because that's what i wanted to match my headlights and foglights... hehehe...

 

car looks sick even though those rims are OEM..great job

 

Looks amazing! Honda should have done that with those wheels from the start.

 

both turned out great

 

ty guys for the positive comments imma repolished them after a week and see wats up
