I painted my wheels....

[bryan_giovana]

I painted my calipers yellow and my wheels graphite with Duplicolor wheel paint and VHT caliper paint.
What do you think??? I love them!

 

[dominoy2k1]

hmm i cant really see the pic, kinda to bright or something..you have any other pics?

 

[Snacks McGee]

Kinda hard to see what they would look like....maybe you should post the pics after the wheels are put on.

 

[bryan_giovana]

and the calipers...

I used yellow VHT caliper paint from Autozone....only $4.50

 

[bryan_giovana]

and the final result is........

Here's my P5 after I finished!

 

[dominoy2k1]

damn looks really player!!! where you get those springs?

 

[Snacks McGee]

I like it....especially the graphite color for the wheels....I would like to know how the paint holds up over time though.

 

[dominoy2k1]

hmm well about 3-4months, thats how long they last for me....

 

[Snacks McGee]

Ugh....that's really not that long for the amount of work is it?

 

[bryan_giovana]

Well...I let you guys know....can't expect too much for $4.50 a can...and I only used a little more than one can...

 

[dominoy2k1]

did you clear coat it?

 

[bryan_giovana]

I got my lowering springs for $168.00 in Albuquerque. They're Progress springs....I even got two little decals...woo hoo

They ride awesome....greatly improved the handling...and appearance...and didn't have to spend the extra bucks and Teins or Eibachs....

 

[dominoy2k1]

yeah man i am liking the drop..might have to get them for the mp3....

 

[bryan_giovana]

yes, I put a clear coat over the paint.

I put about 4 coats of paint and atleast 2 of clear

 

[MarkSpark]

can u post a pic of it closer?

 

[KYMP5]

looks great man. may even be worth the 4.50 every few months just to keep that look.

 

[jayka]

How much does the springs drop??

 

[CruzinAltitude]

Looks Sweet. Keep up the good work.
