Well yesterday (thursday) my friend and I (madhandles03) painted my rims gunmetal. There are a million threads on how to do it so we chose the article off TI.net to follow. I think they turned out perfect thanks for Andrew's master painting skills! . Took us about 6-7 hours and the only problem we had was at the very end when we couldnt get the car back on the ground and get the jacks out :ghey: Finally we ended up using my neighbors big ass hydrolic jack. Hope you like the new wheels guys! I sure as hell do
Here is a before picture:





SHOCKER!! (that's andrew btw )

 

Looks good. Kinda :chuckles: because it looks like there is overspray all over your garage floor.

 

haha...nah thats just dirt...we did a pretty good job of keeping everything covered. Overall I was happy with how they turned out, considering I had never attempted to paint wheels before. IMO it makes a big diff...changes the whole look of the car...now all that is needed is an ITR lip and CF hood

 

Yeah definatly a cf hood and itr lip are on there way soon. I will post more "scenic pics" sooner or llater cause those pictures don't really do the car justice

 

Did you guys use DupliColor wheel paint?

 

Yah that Duplicolor graphite stuff.

 

Is there a DIY floating around on HAN for painting wheels? I was thinking if not we could probably put one together cus we took quite a few pics of the process.

 

Well, there is this thread,

But I guess you could add to it...

 

I say we make our own, that one looks a little out dated and the process we used seemed a lot simpler...except taping off. But other than that it seemed pretty easy, plus it doesnt hurt to have a master painter with you

 

Yeah, Im good, what can I say? :fawk: jk jk
