:nono: Don't pick a color because ur too lazy to clean them

Besides, gunmetal (if you have the eye) will look dirty in a day or too. They loose their shine after the brake dust builds up and they look dull. I clean my wheels once every 3 or 4 days.

i spent about 30 bucks for the materials. i think the ls rims would look pretty cool in gunmetal or bronze.....but thanks everyone, ill probably just stick to gunmetal. bronze might stand out too much.

yeah i think they might look prety sweet in gunmetal or bronze. since i got a white car bronze might not look.

when you say that u spent 30 for materials, u did it yourself or u bought materials and took it to be done?? if its that cheap i can do it on my next paycheck :thumbup:

check this guys in instructions out. i got all the things i needed at autozone or kragens. ill also take pics of it when i do it again. the only advice when you're removing the original coating with aircraft stripper make sure you take the whole coat off cause after you paint it, you will be able to see the lil coats that were not removed. just sand it after using the aircraft stripper. anything else?

well i dont have any kregens here but i hope autozone can hook it up, the only thing i was thinking was that the 5 bar that u painted is probably alot easier that the ls rims but we will see, thanx for the instructions
