ughh!!! i cant get off my wheel locks... i lost the key and when they replaced my motor they broke the front 2 off just not the back... and in the process scratched my bronze super7's... so how do i get the back wheels off so i can redo them all a new color?

 

buy a new key. lol

 

Hoodie....hey bro...when you did yours with the engine block enamel...did you clear them afterward to protect them? just curious

 

jus quoting myself till i gets um help

 

yes you can tape them off and just be careful how you score the tape with the x-acto tip blade...so you dont cut into the actual cap itself... feel free to pm me if you more detail if you havent done that kind of painting before.

 

hmm ok so basically tape off the emblem and such and jus use a very very thin blade to cut around it etc? ive never painted my wheels before and wats holding me back is the fact that i cat drive for awhile to do them

 

^i drove the same day i painted mine.....its been a year and they look good...im re doing them soon though

 

wat time did u start everything?

 

like at 11am...finished by 5pm. drove it at like 6 lol

 

oh ____ really? haha ok now I'm definatly gonna do this jus have to make a day out of it. so u started prepping at 11? did u sand then primer then paint layers then clear?

 

LoL I'm a bit late on this thread, but w/e, I'll give my little part of support since I haven't posted up anything in God knows when!! So I'll post lots of pics so I can feel like its my grand comeback post

But enough with the and on with the pictures!!!!

My Old Look Suby Gold Stockies:











The New look Custom Bronze/Violet/Charcoal Gray with some minor flakes:









Sorry for these = Facebook Quality!!!







Now Im rockin a CF hood awaiting install of Aerocatch hood pins...So this color matches the hood really nicely...
But since My car got rear ended really badly... I haven't taken pics, But oh well, we'll see how this turns out...

 

yup...cleaned them up, wet sanded the clear coat with 400 grit paper. then cleaned, primer, paint, and clear coat.

 

yeh nice rims bro mine were flat black but after seeing this i might wanna change my idea

 

-I was thinking about doing "flat black" but over here you get either stock colored rims or painted black rims(thats as shortminded as people get over here) over here that's OVERPLAYED...
-And I wanted something unique... but oh so subtle... cuz Im saving up to buy some BAD@$$ rims, I justed want to keep my car in an unique yet sleeperish look, I went on an ordered a custom color and ended up loving my combination(at first I thought the color had turned out horrible)
-Pictures will never do full justice to the color... its changes with every angle you look at it... and up close you can see the flakes that really make these stand out!!!!
Glad You liked them!!

 

No worries...I thought the same thing when I saw another with the same color! But I like it alot now...a little darker, very subtle. My whole car is kinda like that...tint is not to dark, but not stock...tails and sidemarkers are tinted slightly...everything is pretty much just "modified stock" instead of aftermarket

...well...mostly...

OH, and Rose, I panted my fronts on Saturday, rears on Sunday, and drove on Monday.

 

OMG!!! haha i love the vvti sticker on the side.
is it ok if i copy you?

 

I usually never like th vvti sticker but that one looks good on ur car.

 

thats the first one iv seen that stuck out.

i must be missing alot.

 

nope, its was like a 1 hour job, sand, paint, throw on the car, drive away.

 

--- Thanx Im glad you love it!!! Sure you can , I'll be honored!! , But only if you give credit where credit is due !! jajajajajaja j/k, yeah you can rock it, I really thought about really hard when choosing the correct looking one for mine.

--- Thanx!!!
