02 RSX Spray Painted the Stockies

Too bad you did a piss poor job.

Would it have killed you to put some oil on the tires or mask them off? Seriously... *sigh*

And I'm guessing you didn't strip the tires or sand the wheels first.

*shakes head* you would think that as big of a forum as IA is, the members would search for the correct way to do something.

They look meh now, but they're gonna look like crap in a few days when they start chipping and flaking. Maybe next time you'll do it correctly.

But, looking beyond the crappy workmanship and at the overall look of the car, I rather like it. Just take the time to do it right.

I cleaned the wheel, didnt sand it cus there was nothing to sand off. Maybe i did do a ****ty job, but it was my first. And its better to learn from my mistakes than from someone elses.

um..i'm by no means and expert at painting, but dont you sand whatever it is your painting to get it nice and smooth so the paint sticks?

Why not learn from someone else's mistakes? Do a quick search for wheel painting and there are TONS of threads that have information about the correct way to do it. That way, yours come out done correctly the first time, and this time next week you're not kicking yourself for doing it because your wheels look like speckled crap. Now that you've done it the wrong way, you've bought yourself a lot more work to fix it. More time stripping the old paint off, more time sanding like you should have done the first time, then carding the tires/putting lotion on them and re-spraying.

Powdercoating really is FTW though.
