could you photoshop this? please. Thanks.

 

When you take off the stock paint with the thinner, should you also get those sections that are in the back area and in between the spokes, or just tape off those parts when you are using the paint thinner?

 

are you talking about the side of the spokes? if so then yes use the thinner

 

I told the mechanic I know about this. He told me not to do it because I would "hate the finish". He said it would be very uneven and "blochey" and that I should take it to a place to have it done. Is your finish uneven or bumpy or runny?

 

nope not at all, it seriuosly looks powdercoated

 

Nice write up. I'm curious to see how this will look with my accented blue rims.



I'm gonna have to break up my photoshop as well :P

 

Heres a quick one I think it turned out good, I didn't realize it'd look so much better leaving the lugs and center caps as is,, I'll hafta re-do mine this way\

 

Another one of mine, I left the lugs and cap on this time

 

Not sure if I'm feeling it on the blue. I think it'd hafta be a high gloss black to pull it off

 

Those look sweet! I mean when I saw it on the ground pic I was like "That dosen't look right" But it looks great! Great right up too, I might be using it then

 

No, I mean the section that Kemble has painted blue.

 

NO, not unless you plan on painting that section as well like Kebmle did.

If you want it to stay like stock just mask that section off as is

 

Since my car is going to be down for a while with clutch problem i might have to do that, looks better on red then i thought

 

Okay, got it. Thank you. Also, should I take off the tires from the rims and then just have them remounted, or just tape of the edge of the tire?

 

Yeah, I dont feel it with the blue. Gonna leave mine the way they are. Thanks for chopping it up for me.

 

No problem Kemble, I was having too much fun w/ paint that day anyways, lol


You will probably get the best results by removing the tires while you do this, it will also make the rims easier to handle.

However, I don't think it'd cause you any problems if you left the tires on while you painted. It would just make the masking step more difficult, and it will not be as easy to handle as the rim alone.

 

i would have them taken off because that paint stripper is nasty **** and could screw up your tires

 

^^True, I didn't even think about the paint stripper. As expensive as our tires are, I wouldn't risk ruining them.

Tires off FTW

 

thought I would lend my hand to this photochop. the car now has tint dark smoke rims with red accent and silver lip and center cap

 

Okay, I will have them taken off. It is good to be freinds with the Manager of a Tire Kingdom. I will let you know how it goes. Thanks for the help.

 

no prob man

 

how much do stock ss/sc wheels cost for a set of four?

 

or how much would it cost to have the 5 spokes powdercoated black?

 

when u stripped them it took the gunmetal off

 

that was the point
