what paint do you guys use to do this? it looks good.

 

Thats the factory base coat, no painting done.

 

ooooooo I like the sneaky cat mod

 

i just did this on my silver balt ss/sc. turned out awesome ill post pics when i get time. but they look good and i get lots of compliments. he had a good idea, and a good write up.

 

I'd really like to see those pics.

OP nice ride man wheels look awesome

 

Damn it, now that's funny!

 

nice man...i want to paint my rims gunmetal like the 18 ss/sc what kind of paint or coating do i need and how much would it cost

 

Can you explain? I like it a lot.

 

looks good

 

Used a citris type paint stripper from walmart was about $6 bucks, it took of the gunmetal paint. Then used steel wool pads for the lip and just sanded it off. Still have some more detailing to do to it and then clear it. Its just temporary till they get powdercoated.

 

Please do I would love to see that **** on a silver car.

Me to! I want to know.

 

Thanks. I kind of figured powdercoating was the way to go.

 

looks great man. I'm silver also and would love to see how that would turn out.

 

is there a how to thread for this? if so can i get the addy?

 

get off my yard u little punk!! lol

looks good man, keep it up. Did u paint over the square orange marker?

later

 

wow that base coat makes this project that much easier. lools good :tup:


definetly want to see how that looks. been thinking of doing this for a while


there is hatrickstu's how to. Apparently there is a basecoat of black primer paint from the factory already on the rims. All brandon did was strip the stock gunmetal paint and then removed the black paint from the lip.

only good pic i got its dark outside ill take some more tommorrow.

 

that looks great, so is this officially dubbed the "hatrickstu wheel mod?'' that would make my day

 

i wouldnt mine callin it that lol. you had and awesome idea. i like the way it looks when you rolling at like 20 mph in traffic. gets lots of attention.

 

They dont look great, but they dont look bad. Its about even for me, im not a fan of painted stock rims.

 

are you serious, i think they look orgasmic on all the cars iv seen it on.

on another note, yea i love the way they look when there rolling

 

thats looks wicked, silver and black

 

yea i like it on the red car, but damn it looks good on silver and black...

i wish i still had mine now that its lowered

 

I didnt say they look bad man, they look alright, just not my style. You have to respect everyones opinion! They could definitely look worse.
