Definitely don't rush them lol, that wouldn't be good. The pics will get your hit count back up for the thread though. Opinions will be posted. I think it will turn out great.

thanks! and yea i wont rush them, i rushed the first wheel and didnt spray enough gold on there so u could see the primer thru at weird angles
but i fixed it, and no runs so far in any of the 2 wheels i did (first)

Not a huge fan of the gold, but you did a great job on them. Good mod and congrats on the new wheels, just not my style.

that looks sick but i think if i did that on mine it would be to much cause my car is black

how many layers did you do? and did you use the clear after the gold? also how long were the wheels off the car?

well i did about 2 coats of primer, or until everything was at least covered, then i did 3 coats of paint and 2 coats of clear, a light mist coat and then a medium wet coat
one wheel from taking it off the car untill i was done took about 3 hours, i started at 11 and was finished at 3 with both wheels, this includes dry time and sanding time
