    Default Anyone ever painted GSR blades?????

    I want a set of black wheels and am getting tired of looking so I think I might paint mine black! Has anyone ever done this and does anyone think this might look good or bad? Let me know something I wanna hear some feedback.

    Do you just hit them with the rattle can or is there a special paint to use?

    You can use either paint stripper (most people prefer aircraft stripper, i've never had any luck with it), or just sand the whole thing, that's how I normally do mine. Sand, smooth, primer, paint O and any kind of paint will work man, doesn't matter if it's wheel paint or not, anything will work, just find the color you want

    FUCK GRAN TURISMO EAST!! NEVER TAKE YOUR CAR THERE, ESPECIALLY NOT FOR AN ALIGNMENT!! TERRIBLE BUSINESS!!

    Awesome. Thanx. I want to strip the clear coat off my fat fives cause its making them look grungy since its so old. What if I just want to strip them and then polish them? will that sanding make them look shitty and scratched up?

    Polishing is a long process. No sanding will not make them look scratched up. It's a long process though and you gotta be really patient and have lots of different grit

    I painted the blades on my hatch, it is something i regret every day. I thought it was a good idea(The paint job is very smooth and done right). I should have sold them and got something else, now they are just even more bland and boring. But if you want painted blades go for it, just don't do it with out some time to think about it.

    You might be able to make some cash out of it if you wanted. Sell yours (300ish), get some that are painted for less then you sold yours for (200ish), and then repaint. It should pay for the paint and leave you a little cash for some thing else.

    This has been done many many many many many many times. Personally, i've never been a fan of blades. I say you sell them b/c you can still get decent money from them and buy some wheels

    However, the gunmetal blades do look good on that white Integra

    i dont think wheels would be a fair trade for a paintjob.

    gold wheels are ugly

    i hate OEM wheels

    If you read what I wrote it says that I will trade them for a paintjob plus me giving cash towards the paintjob!
