Yeah I don't know exactly what that was, and I'm guessing there aren't many people on this forum that are going to correct my grammar. It isn't perfect but, my grammar, syntax, spelling, and vocabulary are all really good, so I'm not worried haha.

I have had several people ask me if I got new rims, not ask if I painted mine And I have also had a few people recognize that they were stock, and painted black, and REALLY liked them!

 

ive been painting everything on my car lol, i did my rear valence over the weekend and my front bumper grill yesterday, its def more eye popping then stock i think

 

Any pictures of the rear valence??? I would definitely like to see this!

 

i just painted my oem 17's, did you guys use an extension on your torque wrench? i scratched the **** outta the lug nut holes using mine without an extension.

 

Put electrical or painters tape around the socket or tire iron. I'd use a socket though.

 

yeah i used a socket, but thats great thanx man im going to redo them here in a little while because i didnt do enough sanding.

 

I'll be painting mine soon. Here's a sneak peak at the paint I'm using... Montana FTMFW! Got three 750 ML cans... POS cell phone pic ftl

 

that can looks freakin weird lol have fun man, remember to take your time, really wish i would have taken more time but i guess i will learn the second time

 

Yeah it's graffiti paint, 10 bucks a can. This will be my 2nd time doing it, but first time with this type of paint. Last time I used another type of paint from the same company and it came out super clean, but I did it in matte black.

 

10 bucks a can? jeeze! lol wat grit sandpaper did you use

 

looks great, good work.

 

I'm going to paint my stock 17s soon since the finish has almost fallen off. I don't use them so I can take weeks to finish the job properly.

I think I am going to go with a metallic gun metal though.

I'd use 600 grit for the first sand then get progressively less gritty working your way to 1800ish for clear coat sanding. Unless you're not clear coating then do 2000 and keep coating them.

 

alright thanx for the help

 

Yeah, but it's almost the size of 2 regular cans.

I can't quite remember what grit I used. But after I used bondo I think those areas I may have use 220 or 320 grit. I didn't want to go too deep. I went to 600, then possibly 800, then 1000, then 1500 then 1800 and finally 2000. I probably went overboard, but oh well.

 

I'll end up re-doing my wheels at some point I imagine since there are a few areas I didn't get enough paint on. Also I think I needed to do some more sanding in between coats to get everything really smooth and even.
