he did, you mean inbetween right? lol lazyness. if he decides to keep this color they will be redone next week with alot more effort or if does gold or whatever he chooses. this is what happens when you get free paint and a whole day of freedom :ninja:

well polishing will be a pretty laborious task. he could get the Duplicolor Chrome paint. that looks fabtastic :goodjob:

we tried that chrome paint... imo it sucks, didnt stick to well and wasnt as chromeish ad we expected. he may just polish them.. we have our ways that make it much less laborious ;)

That's a terrible job. The wheel might of looked better if it was done properly, but that just looks horrible. Polished would be the way to go
