DIY SI wheels...PICS!
Thanks for all the complements.
EriksShadow: Thanks for posting the pics up...I appreciate it :thumbup:
Here's what I did:
Removed the wheel
Sanded it down with 600grit
Sprayed 3 coats of Gunmetal Metal Flake paint(dryed 30 min between coats)
Sprayed 2 coats of clearcoat.
I think they came out great. And I think I'm going to leave the center caps the way they are.

I don't know, I don't like it glossy, maybe if it were flat or more matte. But nice DIY none-the-less. My only concern is that the paint won't stay on there too long, once it starts chipping...
Powder coating would have been about ~$200 or so for 4 wheels.

Maxboost: I spent $9 on paint. So thats how many cans of touch up
?
Asiandood: Man, everyone says that. I just think the black flows much better. They kinda stood out with all my paint blemishes and stuff.
Oh well...I like them so thats all that matters!
