g-day all, i got a little creative today and inbetween rain showers i managed to paint one of my rims up...
what it looked like on the PPG before (stock form) 
i then cleaned them from all the brake dust and grime and taped it up - took about 1 hour to get it just right and smooth 
i tried to remove the tape smoothly so i could reuse it but it didnt work... here is the outcome, i think it brings the front out nicely... 
Striker didnt like the new look, but i love the new look... the front will be polished up tomorrow altho the front of this one looks painted where as the others 3 (spare is stuffed) looks almost polished so im looking out for a new rim... |

believe it or not, it was that $3 paint from supercheap in mechinery grey, its quite thick, it only has 3 coats and is very thick and glossy...
the reason i used grey is because i thorght that black would look too much of a back yard job, where as i wanted a neat unique look and i didnt want the colour to take over the look if you know what i mean, i will finish off the other rims today and post a pic asap thanks for the great comments, so far there is only on person who hasnt really liked them so im happy

ok, i got out there today and took a few pics of the car, half way through changing the front wheel it started pissing down rain so we jumped up and ran... lol fun times
sorry for the glare in some of the pics, its a cheap ebay job and likes to put glare on everything that isnt black... the front rim needs more cleaning up as i painted it a different way which ended up being a crap way, the bumper was off as it was getting painted (from full 'GL' spec grey to colour coded ready for the fitment of the bodykit next week |
