Took a day off from work.. Made stuff look pretty. Aren't perfect, but they so much better than before. Now I once the girlfriend paints my center cap logos, It'll be complete.

First picture is one example of them before...

 

Ive painted a few different sets of wheels, and i dont think i will ever enjoy having to mask the tire off.

Looks great..ive hopefully painted my last set of wheels for a long time .

 

Those look very sharp.

 

Very nice. I repainted my wheels and center caps about a year ago. Did you use Wurth paint?

 

Nah, I'm cheap and used my discount at advance on duplicolor metallic silver..

Masking off each tire probably only 10 min once I figured out the best way. I was able to mask a tire off in between coats on another wheel.

At least noone can steal my car...

 

Either way the wheels still look great. My wheels were a dark gray before I painted them, and they were scuffed in some areas. After I painted them it greatly enhanced the look of the car...until brake dust began to accumulate

 

I am going to pick up my Turbo Twist 2's tomorrow, and am painting mine to, i took everything apart, and rotors off, wire wheeled them, and media blasted the calipers, and power washed the wheel wells, looks soo nice, ill post pictures tomorrow when i mount the wheels.

 

Those will look sharp on the car. My old GF went to URI and we lived in N. Kingston. GORGEOUS area, your lucky.

 

You work for at Advance too ??? Which paint did u use the wheel paint ?

 

I should start driving around with 4 spare tires in the trunk of my van in case I come across cars on blocks.

The wheels look great. Welcome to the lobster-claw caliper club.

 

Anyone ever tried a liquid mask for their tires? I use the stuff all the time on lexan (I paint RC car bodies). It's magic on funny shapes and contours. Wonder if it would stick to the rubber...probably! Someone try it and let us know!

 

your rims look good . in my body shop we pop the bead ,cut 2 half moon peases of card bord and mask off the tire that way .we also pull the valve stem . if you want to mount new tires ,mount the tires ,do not seat the bead then paint the wheel, then seat the bead.this way you cant mess up the outer lip of the wheel.

 

Big improvement!

 

We wants pics of the final installed project! Looking good.

 

nice V70R.
