I love donations haha

 

well another lovely update.

I ruined the paint on attempt one and will be repainting all 4 lips tomorrow morning. fml

 

^Bummer... oh well. It is only paint after all.

 

I knew it was going to happen 2 coats is just not enough . Atleast 3-4 to have any chance of it working.

We are going to have to have a setup comparing thread once we both have our wheels done.

 

^LOL. Nah, you'll win

 

I got motivated today. Only bad part is the lip on the wheel is curved.... thus making a PITA job on a flat surface almost impossible . Should finish all 4 wheels by next weekend.

 

I was going to tease you and not give you a real idea of what it looks like almost done, but here is Wheel #1

 

^Oh wow! That looks really nice.

I'm masking wheels as we speak

 

so matte w/ gloss lip? Nice touch.

 

mirror lip*** The lip is simply the matte wheel ( hot rod black paint same as car ) sanded done very fine to 2000 so no orange peel remains and it is super flat. Then polished out to create a mirror like gloss. Piano black is the term

Just incase you want more info great link I found after the project for my interior.

nice work! what color center caps? Black as well or black w/ red mt fuji?

 

the center caps are also matte black. The mt fuji shaved. It's just a flat black center cap

 

cant wait to see the final product.
