Session 3: Trying a color out.
I used some wheel paint i had in my trunk for touch ups and I am not really sure what i think about it..
let me know.
Session 3.5: Fully Painted!
I did a full paint job on the full wheel today. (note: this is one of four finished)
I think it looks great.. let me know what you all think..

Masked off
Afterwards
The wheels look good, i would have sanded them first. They turned out good either way.
looks good, make sure to sand where it flushes up to hub at, the rust/paint might make wheel loose down the road. looks a lot better than they did!
i don't like them, sorry. you should have sanded them first, and done the semi polished lip like you said in the outset
they're ugly rims. i dont like them either.
they're something i wanted to do to keep me occupied when i have nothing to do.
i sanded them
need mineral spirits to get the paint off the tire.
wheels are for sale when i get done with them.
they look alot better than they did in the beginning. I think you should also polish the lip.
You just gotta clearcoat them to get them to shine, rather than look rough as they do now.
i dont want to, i dont have enough love for these wheels to take the time to polish the lip.
yeah, i dont have clearcoat right now.. i'll get some when im done with the rest and do them all at once.
Im way to tired to do anything tonight..
did you get paint on the tires....
UPROOT Photography FTW
i like the color
Its alright good job!
you should have left them alone...
Why's that?
they looked like major asshole before and now they look presentable.
the centercap thing is my least favorite thing about them.
and i did sand them. very light sand, painted, lightly sanded and painted, then wiped them off with a towel to get dust off.
later will be clearcoated.
The color is fine. Are you going to sell them?
thats what i plan on doing.
