Finally finished these bad boys this afternoon....
Some may not like it, but with me recently seeing a few other FRS's on the internet popping up with same wheels as me, I decided to make mine a little different. And hell, I'm a Painter by profession and I love bright bold colors so why not right???
Started by prepping them with some degreaser, scuffing them with a red scotch bright pad, taping them out, wiping them down with wax and grease remover, spraying them with House of Kolor Orion silver metallic basecoat, then 6 coats of House of Kolor candy purple with an ounce of purple pearl dust added, and then finally 3 coats of Clear. That candy paint is some very tricky stuff but I got it to lay down great after a couple test panels. I love how it came out. In person it almost looks anodized, such a deep wet purple. I've also ordered factory replacement "work emotion" spoke decals.
I've also finally talked myself into going with the rocket bunny kit, but mine will be molded in, not riveted.....
