got bored of the white, and yeah their authentic te37.

 

Looks like ****, way to ruin some expensive *** wheels

 

lol dont look like you preped them at all and just spyared over the white.

 

If it doesn't work out how you intended...just use some aircraft remover and it will take off the spray paint stuff and leave the original finish perfectly intact...I had to do this on some Rota GT3's one time and they came out just fine.

 

wow no prep on the wheels before the spraying very smart!!! It really looks like crap sorry man you should of researched on how to do it properly!

 

OP your lucky this guy knows how to get the spray paint off so you can restore you wheels back to hotness

 

I see dark spots

 

Rofl

 

powder coat them purple! or takata green!

 

i did prep them, i used aircraft remover. in the pic it looks white but its actually bare metal. i guess i didnt sand it down good enough? well anyways thanks for the comments.

 

looks like doo doo i see dark spots and its really dull =[

 

i wouldn't spray paint expensive wheels, get them powdercoated instead.

 

Did you even clear them at the end? I don't know but they don't look good at all... sorry man just being honest thats all!

 

you should sell them to me for cheap and i'll fix um

 

what kind of spray paint did you use? duplicolor is the best besides powerdcoating

 

get some better pics up...i'm sure it doesn't look that bad, it's not like it can't be redone

 

lol. i got bored with my white TE37's and painted them FLAT BLUE.

some people hated. some people loved em. i personally got sick of them...and sold those wheels for super cheap.

i think you coulda used a few more coats of paint and it would have turned out pretty good.

 

That looks pretty horrible. I think you need more technique and better paint. Prepping them is not really the big deal. I didn't prep my Si wheels at all. I cleaned them and primed/painted them. This is how they turned out:




I decided to F up my stock AP1 wheels for a track event since I had bought ADVANs allready (but no decent tires to put on them back then).



Both pictures were with the paint completely 100% dry.

I use paint from NAPA that they mix up. I used Laguna Seca blue for the AP1 wheels the first time around (in the pics). Then Voodoo blue (The toyota FJ cruiser color) later on. I used Kaiser Silver (GM ITR wheel paint code) for the Si wheels.

I coat, recoat, then lots of coats of clearcoat to keep the brake dust from embedding.

Those TE37s look BAD...in a bad way. The problem with spray paint is that it chips easily and brake dust works it's way in especially if you track the car. I'd have them blasted and powder coated.

 

i used duplicolor and also primer before spraying.

 

Well it looks really bad dude. Sorry.

 

That Laguna Seca blue looks badass, you got any pics with em on the car???

 

Thanks. I'm in the process of stripping them back down to the original polish. I haven't had any motivation to do it though lol....the wheels have just been sitting in the basement.

 

BTW, OP, I think those are Rota Grids....

 

they look horrible sorry guy but i think u might of had the can spraying too close.

 

actually it looks like it was too far. It looks splotchy and non glossy. He used too little paint. Tried to do it all with one can or something? It needs more coats and more clearcoat.
