that actually does look pretty clean... but you'll have to probably get those custom powder coated to be that nice. btw, this is the most bcp's i've seen post in a thread in a while (besides the bcp thread)

 

Haha, yea I never see BCP's around here anywhere... It's a shame that our color was phased out, I really like it :-\

Anyway, you don't think I could pull that off with a rattle can? I'm going to try to photoshop a bronze color on them too.

 

The gold on BCP looks hot. If I had one that is what i'd do.

 

Thanks to this thread I'm gonna paint my rims like this gimped up version of a photo. Should look great on my super white body!

 

Holy avatar batman!

 

what about gold on NBM?

 

^^^ do it!

 

im buying the paint on friday, and im gonna start sunday!! ^^

haha i knew you would see that..

 

Sweet, just be patient and start in the morning cause mine took me about 8 hours. If you can get someone to help you, do it.

 

I dont understand how people take 4+ hours let alone 8 like this guy above me ^. It took me a little over 2 hours, and they look great. Everythings even and isnt chipping or anything.

 

If I did it again I could do it in under 4 hours for sure. I was just very cautious (nervous) about everything the first time with all the prepping and painting.

 

im so impatient. haa but we will see. lol
it will take me a while

 

Does anyone have a link to a good tutorial describing how to paint my stock tC rims? I want to do them flat black, yet I want to ensure that the paint doesn't chip easily...is there a non glossy finish I can apply?

 

Here you go. The search button usually works pretty well for future ref.

To make sure it doesnt chip, make sure to sand in between the lip and the tire.

 

Did them this past weekend*, came out real nice too! Even did the calipers in red since the wheels where off.







Now that's sexy!!!





* Please don't PM me how I painted them, what paint I used or with any questions about painting stock rims as I followed the info in this very thread (page 1-2). Search....you'll find it I swear.

 

that's a pretty sick combo.

 

Ya that looks really good. The calipers really finish it off nicely.

 

nice.
but needs a drop soooooooooooo bad. hahaha

 

^^ X2 haha yaa def looks awsome..but the drop will make it look better =]
