Since Excellence had a DIY for painting wheels, I figured I'd do it since I dinged the right front pretty good on a rock a couple weeks ago.
The sanding and primer job took longer (read:wife had other plans for me) than I expected I didn't finish it up on the weekend. So now the car is sitting on four jacks no biggie right? I didn't think so.....
Until my wife asked me, "What happens if there's an earthquake?"
Damn it, didn't plan for that. So I got about two weeks before the wheels will be on again.
Can't wait to see! Changing the silver turbo twists to graphite.....
tell her the ground shakes.....
WOW painting the wheels seems a bit more than just a walk in the park to do it right. Take pictures and post products used and results.
think of it like sex, if it takes a long time, the effort will pay off....but then the results last so long you wont get to re-do it for years!!
j/k...
cheers
That's pretty good... sad and true!
The primer came out looking nice so I'M praying that the paint is going to follow. I didn't take any photos of the sanding, did I tell you I hate sanding? I took a couple of the primer.
I'll take more during the week when I have time to do a wheel per day....
Thanks David. The exhaust tips are powder coated to match (visible in photo of rear as well) as well as the license plate frame. I have some photos of the car with Strosek side mirrors painted to match, but they have been removed. THey don't look right to me so the original mirrors are back on the car. Here's a couple pics with the Strosek mirrors.
please understand its just my opinion....I dont mean to be rude or impolite. That wheel color is not my favorite on that color. I personally would not go with that color combo.
sorry, just my opinion.
your car looks great, when are you going to do an amberectomy to those headlights
Well, I haven't been able to get back to the project. The wheels are setting and letting the paint harden. One wheel needs some additional work since there's a noticable blemish that I need to correct. But I'll at least be able to put the wheels back on this weekend and let it sit some more to make sure everything is good to go. I like the wheel color, the wife doesn't but I'll have to put a poll up to see if they are all "mad tite ghetto" or better than stock....we'll see.
BTW I like the photos...
