turned out pretty good...one suggestion.

you shoulda used BULLDOG adhesive promoterr or some kind of promoter.
it helps paint stick to anything...after sanding of course...

i did the same color.same process, but added the promoter to my civic hatch, which was RED..lol

let us know how they look after some time...vs the elements...

I don't plan on keeping these rims forever but, I will certainly update at some point how they're doing. I chipped a few VERY small spots when I was mounting the wheels, which I'm guessing is more because I didn't really wait to mount them. I waited over night for the base coat to dry, but then found some spots in the daylight that needed to be touched up, so some of the base coat was relatively fresh. I think small chips here and there will be very easy to fix.

I really like the turn out......iv'e been wanting to do this for the looooongest time but just haven't gotten around to it. I think the lip and splash guards really help set the look off. Either way great job! Can someone photoshop a TA strip onto them?

they look awesome, T/A stripe doesn't add or take away from it imo. Either way looks great. Leaving the center caps unpainted was a wise decision. I want.
