Repainted my wheels

[carlova78]

The first wheel came out the best but the others are kinda ruff but are shinier than before

this stuff worked good but kinda ate some metal. and makes the paint strip slimy

Nice over spray

[Cameron.]

lol werd.

[shawn shawn]

....


Do light coats... let dry.... more light coats.... do as needed and you won't get runs.


mask off tires!

looking again I don't know if those are runs or you just need to sand the rims haha.

[Cameron.]

i say start over..

[carlova78]

its all types of stuff.

its over spray
scratched up wheels
the wheels arent mint. they have curbrash and all types of mumbo jumbo so itll take like forever to make it perfectly smooth. theres a bunch of bubly lookin things. its alll good. there my beater rims

[Cameron.]

there your only rims.

[NinjaHobo]

there your only rims.

LOL!!

[Subu]

Spare tires don't forget those

[carlova78]

got em. im gettin another set of teardrops too

[Wes]

Andy, next time, either have them sandblasted, or use aircraft stripper and a scraper.
I tried doing my SE wheels like you did those.
Thats why mine look like garbage/paint won't lay over it evenly.

[babowc]

yeeeesss...
that looks like shit andy.
sand em down entirely or don't do it at all..

it looked pretty much like ass when i sold it to you.. you didn't accomplish much by taking off the flat black i put on them..

[Slip N Slide S14]

dang man

You seriously painted a whole tire and wheel in one

Your best wheel is also flat, ah

lolzzz

[carlova78]

lol nooo i barely painted teh wheel. i put tire shine on when i was done. haha

and it doesnt look that bad in person. at least its shiny

[Casey]

hey yall are dicks. atleast he tried to paint them

i got 10 bucks that says he did a better job than the majority of you guys' first time painting wheels.

let alone most of you pussys wont even try to paint wheels.

anyways

crap doesnt look that bad andy.

just gotta be more patient. tape off stuff and do really light coats and let it dry

[J Squared]

Yay, Im a Minority!!!

[Volcom240sx]

looks good but you need alot of coats or something like that so the paint doesnt chip! i know from experience! besides that they are some badass looking rims.

[down_shift]

a good paint job is in the prep.

[carlova78]

its all good. i dont care if its perfect or not. just looks a bit better than b4.

[Boosted240]

im not gonna blast you, but for future reference any painting that you do like that you are gonna wanna atleast sand it a little bit so the paint can adhere to the surface better. and like everyone else said that tape is your friend
I give an A for effort though.

[Beez_S13]

hey man, not a bad job, ive definitly seen worse. if you would like, i have som paint laying around and i can remove the curb rash and repaint them to look really good if you want me to. i guess just send me a pm and we will talk about it if you would like. thats actually my full time job now removing curb rash and painting rims, and they usually turn out really good, so let me know

[SixSquared]

the problem is that today and tomorrow it looks better than before... but... what's the day after the day after tomorrow.... today's tuesday... tomorrow's wednesday.... ok THURSDAY it will start flaking and chipping, and then it will look just as bad, if not worse. Take your time chandy!

[djQ]

yeah man no worries its not like they are crazy expensive so have fun with them and play around and experiment with them if they do get messed up again

my motto is: "if it makes you happy, do it"

everything in life has its haters

[carlova78]

yea i dont really care bout these rims. im eventually gana get some new ones and use these as spares.

and beez u would do it for free?

[Neejay]

i say start over..

Wow...so mean guys. lol


I've contemplated on paining my 180sx alloys with the duplicolor silver...
Also, yeah they look better than before. And you won't be able to tell while the car is rolling :)

Pm sent

[PRODIGY]

Hmm.. who makes those wheels?
I like the design of them.




I'll buy yours if you get tired of the paint comments....

[raulck_hn17]

when i did mine i didnt use tape coz it barely sticks to the tires, but put a shit load of tire shine on the tire before you paint the rim.. then when the paint dries really good on the rims wipe off the tires and all that paint is gon come off right away

[carlova78]

u cant see any paint on my tires lol.

prodigy there knock offs. and i may be trading with someone soon

[tc240]

you should have had me help you... lol. Shit would look pro and we could have re-polished out the lip. :P
