Painted my wheels!
Mostly prepped.
During the second coat.
Wet clear coat
Done! In the sun
In the garage
Who's that sexy man?
Done deal!
Wait till I polish them!
I used one can of duplicolor graphite wheel paint, and three cans of krylon clear. Total came to about $12. I'm glad I didn't spend $200 to get them pro painted.
I'm putting tires on them tomorrow.

Nice work.
Damn man. Looks great to have only costed $12.

do you stay in a location near lavista road?
i was riding around, and i saw a car that looked exactly like yours in a driveway
No I live around 30 min from there. I did seen a BRP four door just like mine a few weeks ago traveling down 124.Originally Posted by JITB
looks good, did you use that krylon triple glaze clear?
if so i used it once, and after a while it hazed yellow
Nope I use acrylic gloss clear.
Good job man, especially for 12 bucks.
damn aaron that is sick! I heard you got sunny's WRX wheels. Very nice (borat)
Not yet but I am very soon.
ahh. well hurry up! hopefully you have them before the PDX in march!
nice
Ohh I will. I already have rt-615's to put on them. I can't wait.
sick nasty! you an SCCA member yet??
NoI might have to miss that track day. I gotta save money for that tranny.
^ ahh this is true. SCCA membership is very cheap. And if you work that weekend, you get paid $80 and the event is $50. So really you MAKING money to drive that weekend. Cant beat that!!!
looks good
Nice!! Looks good, are you going to wet sand them or are they pretty smooth? I can't really tell from the pics...
When do we get pics of them on the car?
wow that looks really good!! especially for 12 bucks
Making money and destroying tires???!!!
I'm not gonna wet sand them.
Tomorrow around 3:00.
looks good for $12.00 but would have looked alot better sprayed with a gun. i think the aerosol has something to do with the orange peel look.
No doubt a gun job would have been better. You're always gonna have orange peel with a spray can. You could try wet sanding before and after clear but that has been a big for me on previous paint jobs. I'm sure TheBucky could tell us why. But, the orange peel really doesn't bother me on the wheels since there aren't many large flat surfaces. On the car itself would be a totally different story.
good job. You've inspired me to attempt this.
Seems like they are painted the right way!
i paint cars on the side and i remember when i used a can. i would always have orange peel and dry looking spots when i used a can and someone told me it was the aerosol they put in cans. but now that can paint with a gun, i dont use cans.
I guess that makes since, I can't wait to get a spray gun setup!
looks really nice man. I wouldnt have been able to tell you used rattle can.
Thanks! Oddly enough the clear coat cans didn't rattle, they didn't have the ball inside them.
Well, so far they look good. But I want to see what they look like on the car to give my final say so.

Well I look forward to receiving your seal of approval.
Looks good, I'm looking forward to seeing them on the car!
not bad for a can man!
it was a 2 door... that looked EXACTLY like yours... i swear.
Haha mine has 4 doors.
I'm pretty sure I know that kid. If it is the person I think it is he goes to the sonic meets every once in a while.
oh ok, nevermind your looks like a 2dr...in your sig..Haha mine has 4 doors.
I'm pretty sure I know that kid. If it is the person I think it is he goes to the sonic meets every once in a while.
Well it sure does! I didn't notice that before.
Mounted and balanced the tires with out problems. Then waited till it was dark and took some horrible pictures of my really dirty car.(I'll take a few tomorrow)
