better pics ftw

 

3 weeks? Did you work on them for 5 minutes a day?

I could bang those out in less than 3 hours.

 

Im sure he sanded the primer and didnt just wet on wet every coat.

 

Sure, but 3 weeks? lol

 

valid point. haha. They do look good OP.

 

HVLP gun FTW!

spray can is for hacks

 

I worked on them 4 times out of the three weeks lol but I had to let the paint cure for 5 day before I put the chrome finish on..

 

wow that does look sick. i still got my OEM"S just sitting in the garage. maybe i should paint them. what would look good on an LR G

 

as soon as i saw them i thought those would look great on a grey car and ha then i saw the pic of your car.

they came out great. figure 3 weeks prolly how long it would take me too for how much free time i ever have

 

where are the better pics!??

 

 

I thought I would bring this thread back from the dead. G35 wheels were always my favorite to paint. I needed to help OP out and explain the different types of paints available.

Hypersilver paint finish. A more polished effect than the factory finish found on the G35 ,FX35 and FX45 wheels.

Hyperblack black chrome. I painted the wheels in the main picture at the top of the page. They were on my 2006 G35 coupe. The tsw nurburgring wheels were orginally a flat gunmetal.

Last wheel finish is the Motochrome chrome paint.

What color is closest to stock??

 

The hypersilver is similar to the stock wheels. Hypersilver is the same color but just a little more reflective(chrome like). You can dull it down if the finish is too mirror like. An 8oz is enough to paint 8 18" wheels. So you would still have half an 8oz left after coating a set of 4.

 

Black is the standard base color for the Hypersilver but if you change the black to a medium or light grey, it will yield a brighter final Hypersilver color. The particles in hypersilver are semi transparent, so some of the base color will show through.
