painting hammerheads gunmetal.
did 2 today
since they didnt have any tires on them, plus wanted to practice on it before i paint my new 16's

Original, and Painted no clear coat


Painted and Clear coated


NEW PICS ....after adding the rubber and mounted on car, sitting on Generals, 195/55/15

 

I will buy those if they come with rubber also.

 

good stuff man, did u follow the DIY from the tech section? thats what I used, and our wheels came out purrrrfect.

 

no i didnt i jus cleaned it up
got the rim paint from canadian tire and the clear coat aswell for the wheels
painted teh wheels couple of layers and then like 2 or 3 coats of clear coat

 

did u sand them before you painted, or just wipe em off, then paint them?

 

they look good

 

yeah they do look good

 

i just removed all the grease and stuff with some acid stuf we have laying around the shop did a good job then i washed it off let it sit for a while to dry off then i sprayed the rim paint, and rim clear coat.
i noticed its alot thicker than normal paint and its sticking pretty good, i let it dry over night at the shop so gona go c how it is in the morning,

 

Nice job!

 

thanks

 

wow look amazing, good work bro

 

new pics added
gota do the back still

 

i want to get some colored lug nuts but dont no what color to get. any suggestions?

 

Pink!

 

LOL
i was thinking more of red and also painting the calipers red.

also got my clear side markers just came in today, waiting on the clear bumper lights to come in.

 

bro i was gonna ask u when i met u but i forgot, what headlights are those, i kind of really like them...

 

halo projectors, lota ppl dont like it because of the bubble where the fog lights are they come black housed and chrome, for u sinceu got that black and red theme going id say black housing would b better...plus the halo's are more visible on teh black housed ones. mine barely see it cause of the chrome,

but ye i dont mind them, there alrite still, good light output, gona put in hid's soon so should be good.

 

well i like them but i dont want that stupid *** halo ring on at nite, i mean we dont drive bimmers!

 

^^ try these....no halos....and i think they're hot...

ya man now those are ------- HAWT! but but those corner lamps look a little too futuristic for me....

 

lol
i dont have my halo's on at night i dont even use them. just use the headlights and fogs

 

black DA+ dark wheels= sexyness. rip my black out 92teg w. black slipstreams

 

man this really sucks! rims looked like they were in good shape too! i would have sooo traded with you for my gunmetal hammer heads!

 

lol nah man the rims hav some corrosion stuff and lil curb rash i jus cleaned it up a bit

 

thusee you should have stripped the rims and scuffed em. after awhile they will chip and flake, cause its not adheiring properly.

or you prolly dont care lol cause they were just practice?

 

actually i like how it looks without the clear coat, like the matte finish on that color.

 

lol im probably gona sand blast em all and redo it, when i was mounting the tires to the rim it started to flake a lil so i was careful not to scratch anything, but ye im probably gona sand blast cause i luv this color on these rims, a whole lot better than the original silver makes it look more aggressive,
im gona add a lip kit so i dont wana slam it to much nex thing u no the speed bumps meet my lip.....
last year i was slammed like 2 inches off the ground friggin ruff ride didnt like it to much.

so ye i like this drop and it rides smooth still, just gota get the front camber kit. if anyone has or knows any good places not to expensive let me know need em soon before the road eats up my generals.

 

lol ye

 

definatly keep the same color if you refinish them again.
i did my LS mesh wheels a royal blue color in a high gloss enamel for my 94 civic sedan. no scuffs scratches or nothing, look mint actually waxed them once and washing them is a breeze too.

would post a pic but my photobucket is fuked

josh saw them , there bright.

 

any idea how much sand blasting would b for 4 rims

 

lookin good

 

lol thanks man i still hate u for gettin the cf hood before i got it frig lol looks good on ur car tho (Y) woulda been better on mine
