[hondasarge]

are those the stock MP3 wheels in a gunmetal color? Looks really sweet!

 

[big_ben]

Thats exactly what I am going to do to mine. How much did it cost you?

 

[manuel]

hah it was bout $10. yeah they are gunmetal color and yeah they are the stocl wheels

 

[big_ben]

It's not spray paint is it?

 

[redwagon02]

I have a feeling it is.

 

[big_ben]

If it is, it looks really good now, but trust me, it wont last longer than 3 months. But it does look really good! I'm definately getting mine powdercoated now.

 

[redwagon02]

I know what you mean. I just picked up spoolin's wheels so I've been thinking about getting them powdercoated too, but the finish on them is purty.

 

[manuel]

hey it is wheel spray paint. i can always respray

 

[redwagon02]

got any close up pics manuel?

 

[manuel]

nope i will see if i can get some. got to get digi cam from friend. too expensive to get them powdercoated, since all roads here in houston seem to need some construction or are in construction. i would scrape them the first day. this way i can respray anytime

 

[manuel]

whoa a month....... close up

Looks like you did a great job! How did you do it? Did you take the wheel off of the rim or just cover the rubber with newspaper?

 

[manuel]

well i used index cards around the outside of wheel cause tape did not want to stick, eventhough i degreased the tires. but it turned out really good

 

[MP3-Owner]

So you just kind of stuffed index cards between the rim and tire? Like all around the rim and then painted? Sounds like a pretty good idea.
Thanks for the pics and info.

 

[manuel]

yeah, its easy too.

Spray paint and index cards....(stoned)


I love it!

 

[bd4awgn]

that looks awesome...how long did it take you to do all 4 wheels
(redp5)

 

[Kooldino]

not too shabby. Suggestion: do the nuts and the center cap thingy, but don't cover the mp3 logo.

 

[manuel]

well to do just one took me about 10 mins then dried for one hour then resprayed. took me bout 6 hours total, made sure they were dry.
well i think the center caps and lugs look better that way.(wiggle)
