rock on man... lookin' forward to seeing them

 

went through the whole thread may have looked over a few things.

nobody seems to have the black dupli wheel coating around me, but im seeing the engine enamel people said they used, do they look identical? someone should post/repost for me.

how long should you let the final product sit, im hearing anywhere from 24 hours to 5 days.

thanks in advance

 

^^ easternsanc.... those paints are similar in chemical make up.... the main difference is the engine enamel paints are designed to withstand much greater heat than a standard paint. You may want to keep looking around for the standard paint though.... Enamel paints look good, have a nice finish...BUT....enamel and lacquer paints are more brittle than others. They are strong...but will chip. If you did a few coats of clear afterwards to help them resist chips....then go for it.

 

^ thanks a lot, i'll head a town or two down and see what they have

anything on the sitting time?

 

i used high heat engine enamel for mine and theyve been fine so far.

 

I order my paints online from http://www.caswellplating.com/

 

It's a little dirty, needs a good wash, maybe even drop the coilovers a little more ...

 

Slam that ish!

Hey Aretardedkid.... haha did you use the bronze duplicolor wheel paint to paint your wheels?
