well, as a full time college student that only works part time i cant really afford buying rims right now, so i decided to do this instead ....let me know what you guys think

hours of taping and sanding


the unpeel..


love how they turned out, just needed the snow to melt..in the mean time they were my interior decorating


then finally yesturday


same metallic black as the hood

 

dang!! they look amazing, man! Good job.

 

thanks man, i appreciate it.it took forever. haha

 

Those came outgreat man! I tried that, lost patience, said fck it, and went full black. Props!

 

wow one of the best jobs i've seen

 

thanks! yea this was my project over christmas break so i have about 35+ hours into them (not including painting), I'll never do this ever again. so if something happens and they need to be repainted, I'll be matching you with the full black.ha

 

hey,thanks a lot man

 

You paint the hood too?

 

Great Job!! What spray did you use? I want to this very soon. Also did you use "Frog" tape to mask?

 

that looks sick, it even has some sparkle to it. haha is that spray can??

 

damn dude that looks so good! yea i give you mad props to your time involved in this. it really shows.

 

thanks guys, sorry i didnt specify, I did everything BUT shoot them, i know that kinda takes away from the "diy" aspect of it but i didnt want to practice my painting skills on my rims. The shop that did my hood (when i got into an accident) still had paint left over so after preping the rims i dropped them off and picked them up a couple days later..so

Heyseed : no the hood was professional sprayed

DigitalPro : its normal 2 stage automotive paint with a couple coats of heavy clear, this is actually Ford tuxedo black ( i used it because it had more of a silver flake compaired to scions metallic that i thought looked more blue, that and im a ford guy) and the tape was 3M masking tape i got a grainger,i think i had everything from 1/8 - 2in http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/3M-...BaseItem=2A675

psturm: thanks, no it was proffesional sprayed

tc crisis: thanks man!

 

those look badass dood. i never had any luck painting rims!

 

Wow, those look great. :like:
