Painting the stockers

[mountjonas]

So i bought a set of 02 wheels from PR54LIFE with the intentions of either painting them of having them powdercoated. I'm still looking for a reputable powdercoating shop so in the meantime, i'm experimenting with duplicolor's wheel coating. i used the graphite color and clear. here's my progress so far. i messed up about a 4 inch area so i'm waiting for it to dry so i can sand that area down again and repaint.

Someone should powdercoat a set of P5 wheels, bronze.

i was going to do mine back when i powder coated them. but i just kept it with the red & black i had going on. i do think bronze would look dope! (evil)

You can barely see it, but they're on there.

 

[Mr. Win]

[PR54LIFE]

Nice job so far bro.

That looks pretty good.

Sorry to thread jack but hey Never Ender, I've never seen your car before around town. Those bronze wheels look good.

Did that to my rims- in the graphite color- It will look really good for awhile, then the rock chips will kick in- no substitute for powdercoating-

for some reason i dont think thats his car...
he has an 02, and that car has sidemakers on the fender...then again, it also has an MP3 bumper, so he could have changed the fenders too, I dont recall seeing a pic of his car before(dunno)

also, those wheel look like gold, not bronze...

i used it on the wheels i sold, over the top of them i used a clearcoat with metal flakes in it very lightly - that wheel coat paint STICKS
