painting wheels (my first post with pics :))

[Patrickenator]

Sup, so i followed in the footsteps of msp2024 and J-Naoto's original wheel color method and sprayed my own rims (cabpatch). Didn't feel like droppin that much cash on curbed-ass wheels (like that when i got the whip (confused)) check out the before an aftas IMO black RHs look WAYY better

edit: and yes the msp is in terrible need of a shower...(mspblack)

i was to but if you take your time and do it right it really holds on there, i have had mine done for a year and a half and only had one scratch and it came from the tire place when they mounted new tires on

yea i thought that too when i first found out lmao...but no the sunroof itself was well put in, the wiring is bad as fukk, so my guess is real MSP lol (has all the squeeks and clunks to prove it too)

 

[Patrickenator]

ghostone just clean (the s**** outa them), sand (wet is prob better), let dry, prime (Krylon) maybe 2-3 coats, paint (Krylon Satin Black is what i used) many thinn coats.

I would stress the thin coats, and aloow plenty of drying time in between coats...you don't want runs, and you want it to be strong. after that, enjoy!

plus you could clearcoat i think J Naoto did that for his whites. I didn't cause i'd already driven it and didn't feel like cleaning them with fresh paint...and now he has real powdercoat anyhow so whatever

Thank you for the instructions!

how come nobody paints the center caps? imo it kills the look.
