smooth1 Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 Hello, welcome to the LOC. Nice wheels there. Did you have them powder coated? or are they base/clear? Can we get a close up shot of them? From a short distance they look good. How long have you had them on? We have another member here who just had his rims done. Flop 170's came out really nice also.
rcaribe2 Posted September 11, 2008 Author Posted September 11, 2008 thanks, I did do them myself. All I did was scuff them up mask off tires and spray, I used high temp engine paint cause that's the only paint I found in that color. Came out pretty good for quick job. I prob will use a primer next time to try and hide some deeper scratches. Will post close up pic of rim when I get home.
Cwallbball10 Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 No offense, but it made me think of all the Royal Blue Subaru WRX's that are running around here...
larful Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 No offense, but it made me think of all the Royal Blue Subaru WRX's that are running around here... I'd do the same to my car, black in color but I have so many dings and kurbs from the previous owner... how much will that primer actually fill?
smooth1 Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 If your thinking about painting your stock rims, then I would take them off and sand the dings and curb rash off first, get em good and smooth again, and then take them in and have them powder coated. IF you can't do that, then I would think about polishing them and just clear coating them yourself. I guess Flop doesn't like to post pics of his rims,( hint hint Flop! ) I think his turned out really nice.
marsin Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 got to say.... looks really nice.... I got too many scratches on mine from montreal f1 this summer.... i would have to have them machined but they look really great....
smooth1 Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Yo Flop, that looks great! Good and clean. Do you have a full car shot?
