you're right.. I'll try it out. that gunmetal color looks classier than the flat black.

 

I think flat black would look terrible for a classy car like the G. Unless you use some 19s or 20s. IMHO anyway.

I do like dark though. so something dark but not completly black.

 

for those who refinished there rims, did u guys have any problem with chipping and wat not?

 

good question. i needed new tires, so the next day i went to get them put on and it chipped a little on the edges.


if you let them dry long enough youll be fine.

 

if you can find some use a clearcoat that can be cured with a UV light and use a black light or straight up uv bulb for w/e hours to cure it if you would like to wash it oh btw im new here HI

 

huh?????

 

spray gun > spray can

 

spray can > spray gun when you dont own one.

 

Waste of a comment, you have no idea. I have painted stuff for over 5 years can you tell me the difference between my rattle can job and a job done with my spray gun. The only difference is you probally have no control so it comes our spotty, on the other hand look at mikes rims no spot, no drips, no dirt. Its all in the prep work most people dont take the time to prep this properly when doing a rattle can job.

 

thank you son.

sexy boy, your nothing but a worthless peice of **** to me.

 

Took you long enough to get this up after hours of phone help with me....lol. Looks good bro!

 

I have done a LOT of "equipment" painting. The only difference I could see was the "rattle can" paint job had a much thinner coat than the spray gun. You had to do 5 or 6 coats to equal 2 from a spray gun. However, exellent results can be had from either. As someone said, "it's all in the prep work".

 

HOURS???? try like 15 minutes MAX. thats becuase i dont know what the hell im doing =)

 

Thank you for the write up. How long do you figure to do the whole job, I'm thinking of trying to do it in one weekend. Gotta drive the car to work on Monday. I'm thinking the sanding part will take the most time. Thanks.

 

those look pretty sick!

what color did you use? Dupli-color wheel paint gunmetal?

Thanks!
