Lazer Blue SS/SC with Gunmetal GTP wheels

Just finished these last weekend. When i got them they were from a wrecked GTP and needed ALOT of work, but after alot of sanding, primer, 3 coats of paint, and 3 coats of clear. I used a charcoal metallic paint and clear coat both from automotive paint supply store.

Lowered on Sportlines, bfg kdw2 235/40/18 in front, stock tires in rear( waiting on my other 2 bfgs to get here.)

Let me know what you think! heres the pics....

Nice! I might have gone a little bit lighter, but they look pretty good! These do look awesome in stock form, but if they are beaten up, gunmetal is the way to go on blue IMO.

With the exception of the pinstripe, I fully agree! Gunmetal TC wheels are win also!

Very nice, I will say your car would look even better and flow smoother minus the pinstripe, but if you like it, rock it

thanks guys! i have a set of OEM polished centercaps to go with it, but couldnt decide so i sprayed another set just in case i like it better.

I wasnt set on the pinstrip at first, but it grew on me... maybe one day ill take it off.

Thanks everyone!

after i got the first 2 rims which were pretty beat, i had to sand them down because someone before me decided to put bondo over the whole rim. well after they had it and the bondo started to bubble and pit, it looked like ****. so i found all this out after i started to sand.

First 2 Rims took about 6 hours each to get them sanded down smooth and filled the proper way. my next 2 rims i bought off ebay for 128.00 each. they were new but painted. so all i had to do is give that a skim.

All together sand, primer, paint and clear, took about 2 weeks. but thats just working on it 3 hours after work.
