Canada Fresh paint in the Daylight!

Well, as i stated before, it was too messy to take the car out before, but lately it has warmed up, and most streets are dry. So here are some daylight pics of my freshly painted wheels! I couldn't get any rolling shots, because it is just me out this morning, so i'll get them the next time my brother drops by.

Tint comes next week, along with more 3M protective vinyl, and hopefully some on the wheels to protect my paint!

If i didn't live in Canada, i would agree. Unfortunatley, i don't. So they stay. I like my paint on the car, not on the ground.

I gotta fix or learn my camera better, to get rid of all that white in the pic. Something with the exposure and colour balance maybe... Reign, where are you when i need you?

Understandable. To each his own. As long as you like it, then that's all that matters.

I usually don't like when ppl paints the stock wheels, but this is one of the best jobs I've seen, not only that but your appearance mods are tasteful and subtle. very nice, great job. Thank you for not taking your ss emblem and putting it in place of your front bow tie! lol

I agree they look out of order there. But the rest of the car is awesome, I like the front a lot .

Thanks all! The LED tails are hit and miss for most people, in the daytime. When night comes along everybody loves them! I like'm all the time, and they work with my LBM / Chrome(silver) theme too!

looks good, but 2 things....

1-in the first pic, towards the top of the wheel, it looks like you missed part of the rim(or is it just the lighting?????)
2-Where did you acquire the aftermarket grills from.....If I remember, they can be powdercoated black as well, I just don't know who sells them


God deal overall man
