im actually a girl...but thanks! and i used duplicolor engine enamel

damn girl, you got skills with a rattle can.

i like the red on the inside, so different. the handles set of the yellow beautifully

 

[TWISFM]

interesting

 

[thorracing271]

Sorry, reguardless of sex, you did a great job. i think the handles pull it all together great.

ARE YOU GONNA DO FLAMES?? just kidding

Looks great! It makes the rims blend in more. That red inside is a very interesting idea.

I've used that engine enamel on my cafe racer project and that paint is VERY soft. It scratches very easily and what not. It might be a nice idea to get some sort of 2 part clear on that thing. I'm going to use Duplicolor's wheel paint when I find the time to paint mine. Hopefully that is more durable than the engine enamel paint.

I love DIY.

Looks good, got me thinking about coating the inside of my rims.

the inside looks nice now, but in about a week of driving its going to be covered in brake dust...

The black and red rims looks really cool and the door handles makes it even better.(thumb)

It's looks ok not a bad job at all thumbs up.I like to color match everything on my car thus the idea of me having a CF hood is out of the question.

 

[DeadAir]

The tires are not to bad they were on the car when i bought it ill be replacing them soon.
all brake pads dust but ceramic is supposed to produce minimal dust i just wipe any dust off a couple times a week when i wash my car and i haven't had much dust at all.

it is. the wheel paint is very durable. if you mess up good luck getting it off lol


i usually sand the rim first then use rustoleum primer than paint with duplicolor wheel paint and then wheel clear coat. its works wonders when done right and with the right amount of coats

I can't believe there's a girl mazda enthusiast here. That changes the entire playfield. Anyways, I hope you drive a stick shift. It would be so encouraging if you did, especially with the amount you seem to cherish your P5.
