cause i sprayed my rims a different color!! and some rokr cell pics!!!!




what i had...


some curb rash...


and some more curb rash...


trying to grind down some of that ugliness...


now under the influence, i continue to grind some more ugliness...


putting some spot putty to cover it up...


all over...


sanded down....


now its time for the fumes to get going...


up against the wall...


primered in the *purple haze* garage...


all of them primered (nightime)


the choice of color, simple black...something new for me....


rim done and on the car...


and here is how the car looks now...


and for a bonus!!!


lent my se rims to my boy...so we decided to paint them...gold!



and here are both are cars...he just got the hatch!

overall, not a very difficult thing to do, but has changed the way i look at the car myself...so with that im happy with how it turned out...and sorry for the crappy cell phone pics!!!

 

the finish looks like it came out really nice. what kind of paint did you use? just a standard black spray paint?

 

used duplicolor engine enamel for the black, i did a couple of clear coats with duplicolor high heat clear...

 

looks good, but i'd perfer the gold....paint the RED!

 

nice job.. never even thought of using spot putty... lemme know how it holds up, i might do that to some rims i got here

 

Uh oh...I see Trenell's motor build has encouraged more DIY's!

Very nice Jay...

 

it looks really good in person too!!

 

looking good, we need some close ups though

 

nice

 

thanks andrew!!! be there in a bit...lol

amanda, ive been always known to spray my wheels!!! just was too cold in the garage to do so!!! but trenell's engine build has encouraged me to do something big soon!! not sure what yet..ahaha

lol wayne, ill be honest, if someone was to be a perfectionist, they would slaughter my work!!! its not the best, but it does the job..but ill try to get a close up today!!!

 

You need me to take pics of your car for you

Show up to the meet and I'll take some pics of it before hand.

 

Nice Job with the paint, i know how time consuming rim painting can be i've done like 4 sets of rims now. LOL.

 

looks good, jay!

 

Me...I'm impressed...I mean spot putty lol Clever, Looks Good!

James

 

sure, im planning on coming this wed...but your carazy camera will display all the dandruff on my front bumper!!!

 

jay, did you ever let a girl drive your car?

 

yes i did!! it was a stupid month, but in return, i was ripping the ---- out of a brand new audi a3!!!

 

what kind of spay did you use

 

here's the type...
though i woulda recommended wheel paint
http://www.duplicolor.com/products/wheel.html

although the high heat should stick well on the metal regardless.. so just need somethign durable

 

i actually found the duplicolor wheel paint to be kind of ----!!! ahaha yea i know, weird but when i did my se's in gunmetal using that paint, it flaked off a lot more then my gold rims ever did!!!

thanks again for all the compliments...i love them black, for now!!!
