Mike the DIY man.

 

hook it up homie i wanna do this i ran to pep boys and advanced auto parts to see what i could find out about painting rims and found only a bunch of ppl not knowing anything, or the right color paint, i need to kno where i can get the paint what kind, and the prep i need to do to the rims. I NEED IT ALL!!!



please help me iam in love with that look

 

I'd like to know too!

 

i wonder how it would look on BSP

 

looks damn sexy love gold roms on a white car

 

finally someone posts pics! haha.. very very very nice... :D GO WITH IT!! i was thinking the same but i just wondered how itd look; and it looks awesome! what kinda gold did they come out as? any daytime shots?

 

I dont have a DIY made up but heres some basic directions

You will need:

sandpaper
stack of index cards
bondo (if you have curbed rims)
duplicolor wheel paint (2 cans of white, 2 cans of gold, 2 cans of clear coat)


sand down the rims, not alot, just scuff it up so that paint sticks better, if you have curbed rims, sand down the curb, and refinish it with bondo, then resand so its smooth to the touch

clean it very well, i just used water

stick index cards overlapping between the rim and tire

spray the rims white, using almost all of the 2 cans

spray the rims gold using about 1.5 of the cans, if you want a deep bronze color, use gunmetal instead of white base coat

clear coat the ____ out of the rims after dry

i waited for the paint to be dry to touch between each coat

allow adequate time to dry before remounting rims.

pretty basic, just make sure u spend time doing each step.

i've had it for awhile now and its very durable, even through scrubbing and washing

im sure im missing something so just post up any questions

thanks for comments guys

 

you have no idea how georgious ur car looks, i have a white 1 also and iam gonna do the same this i love the black lip kit i caint see if urs is carbon fiber but iama do the same thing wit carbon, and the lowering is perfect. ok i went to pep boys and ____ and couldnt find the gold where could i look that would have it

 

ok well i caint find "gold" is bronze what ur talking about???

 

Nah it was def. duplicolor gold, high heat engine enamel i believe, they dont make a gold wheel paint, but def use the white wheel paint for the base coat, or some kind of wheel paint for the base coat. i got all my stuff at autozone

 

THAT WILL REALLY WORK freakin awsome!!! so ok ill try it and let you kno what happenes. so u say its engine enamel gold, is that the name, sry iam givin u a hard time
