Painted my rims and black trim

[1990_cruiser]

reading threads like this makes me wanna paint my OZ lancer rims cahmpionship white!

Nice work man!! now in thinking of painting my trim too but green.
Awesome dude!!

Thank you. Yeah, OZ rims would look sick in white.
Are you thinking of painting it green as in your car's color?

more info on color you chose for the paint. I can barley read the picture... lol I like the color and now would like to do my wheels in that color!

I selected the color out of a paint shop color catalog, and the rattle can has the following on it,
CODE: MAE 35515
MEDIUM GREY METALIC

Hope this helps you

paint the side skirts now and mud flaps, makes it even cleaner.

I agree with you, will do it soon.

I had like 2 rims that were in pretty bad shape. So, basically I sanded them down starting with a higher grit sandpaper and ended up with a fine grit sandpaper. Then added 2 coats of filler primer and like 5 - 6 coats of grey paint.

I have seen other members over here using aircraft remover to remove old paint, clearcoats and etc.. Depending on your condition you can start off with aircraft remover, sand paper, primer followed by paint.

Paint or lose the center caps, and i'm digging the painted trim.
