Painting rims.....in progress

[tear2wo]

how did u paint them? im gonna get some silver rims and i want to paint them white .

[ric3rboi23]

u think that gap is bad mine is made w/ 14" steelies w/ hubcaps

you should see mine with 14" steelies and my gold cappas!

I am sticking with black and white for the car......calipers are black, hubs are black, lips are/will be black etc etc...

Started on one rim today as its a lengthy process only having 1 jack for the car. Used dark grey Super Etch Primer underneath, then matt black to finish it. Mum said she hates it. She'd rather the silver, but the silver was all scraped up and looked shiate. Tell me what you think

Polish that lip, 2" drop at least and legend lip will flow nice with your cb

I personally prefer the silver. I agree that the black makes the wheels look smaller.

the car is high. i have kyb agx and ground controls sitting in my room from a year ago which i still havent put in. front will be dropped 3", back 2"

Hurry up and install them! lol

lower and lip

already got a coupe legend lip, needs repairing but i cant bothered, its only a minor split. as for the suspension, i guess in the next couple weeks its going in. also, some legend calipers there, was planning on doing the upgrade but can't get vigor rotors in aus so gonna have to do without them (damn $80US to get em shipped to AUS...)

had to get a new rubber sealer for the valve cover today as it was leaking oil....got the whole engine bay degreased and washed down too. looks schmick.

as for the wheels looking smaller, couldnt give 2 shits......

how can i get the paint off the tyres? i tried some methylated spirits but didnt work...any hints?

[mannix_10]

what size rim and what size tires?

17" rims, tyres...no idea, can't be bothered walking out and looking

[mannix_10]

sorry, also any suggestions on what i should do with lug nuts? spray em black? spray em red? spray em pink haha? leave em rusty silver (ewww)?

[bugsy22]

no1 you shoulda masked the tires off good so paint wouldnt got on them or taken the tires off.. but anyways i think the rims look better black i would paint the nuts black to or i wouldnt paint them because they will get hot and the paint will chip not unless you use .. 500 degree black or higher .. the n they shouldnt chip.. and most defentinly drop that accord .................................................. .............................

[kouzie]

either one looks great...

[mannix_10]

update from today, done 1 more rim. so 1 side is done. ran outta black paint so gotta go get some more, lots of etch primer left tho...kinda miss the silver already but up close they looked shiate
