sweet pics yo.

 

Was the tire on the wheel when you painted?

 

hmm... maybe if i could see the pics

 

sorry the pics are small i can't figure out how to make them bigger..umm yeah the tires were on there i just let some air out then pushed down on the side then slid in the card..worked great.. they look so so good..

 

take off everything after the first jpg.

 

wow.. looks like those turned out pretty nice... i kinda wanna do my old set of rims, but dunno yet.

 

how's the turbo setup working out for you on the Y7??

 

thanks emerica!!!
yeah i was kinda scared to paint them i thought i would mess up but i just sanded really good for about an hour and sprayed lightly and they came out great i would suggest this to anyone..much 's

 

well since its the mini me swap i went ahead and got the low compression gasket from mr. gasket and i am running about 8.5:1 compression right now.. its slow with no boost but when it kicks in its a great feeling i just wish i had traction in 1st and 2nd. tonight i took off my exhaust and i am just running open down pipe and man is it loud.. no low end tq. but much faster high end

 

what size wheels are those?

 

looks good.....

 

the wheels look good! did those prelude seats bolt right in or did you have to fabricate them?

 

those are 15's.. umm for the prelude seats 2 bolts fit but you have to extend the other 2.. its pretty easy.. i got them for free so.. i didn't have a problem doing that

 

what paint did u use?can you take a pic of the spary can you use?what was the steps to paint ur rims?thanks

 

i don't have a better pic and i used my friends camera but its called dupli-color and
the i used was graphite gray you can get it at pretty much any auto parts stores..
as for steps i first used some cleaner and cleaned them good
next sanded them down for about an hour
then i got my blower and blew them dry
deflated the tires then inserted the note cards
then sprayed lighly

 

Looks good, here's a set of 94 GSR's I did:

 

that body kits mad stunna yo, i think you missing some molding though

 

Looks Nice...I liked the wheels before you spraypainted them. But the paintjob turned out nice!

 

i am suprised someone didn't notice that earlier.. yeah well my friend wrecked it and i didn't have that piece when they repainted my car but i do have it now and as for the body kit.. i kinda wish i wouldn't have done it..

 

lol, i consider myself lucky. if i had a civic when F&F came out, i would bet money i would be stuck with a blitz body kit on my car right now. i didn't get into this JDM thing until a few months ago

we all make bad choices, no big deal.

 

wheels
painting just outside surface
turbo
no heatshield
no spoiler
body kit
put factory body kit back on, and put on the greddy turbo heatshield and , but overall

what kind of paint did you use to do that set of GSR's?

do you have to prime them, and gloss them or whatever?

they look GREAT!!

 

Looks good....... I just **** on myself and giggled.

 

I orginally stripped them down with aircraft stripper and had them polished for a few years. I primered them with auto prime inside and out. Then I sprayed them with Duplicolor low gloss black and many coats of clear. I wet sanded them with 1500 then 2000 grit afterwards and buffed them with rubbing compound so the clear is very smooth. It took away from the low gloss look but they haven't chipped from road grime and rocks. I masked off the outer lip and left it polished.
