No, but it only takes a few seconds each. Rejex helps in that respect.

Andrew...I am a bit confused at what I looking at with Chaads wheels...are they the same color as the car? (that's what it looks like) But what is up with the center cap??? Or is the center cap the same color as the car and the wheel is silver??? I think we need a better picture.

The wheels are light grey - car is GPwhite, the caps are white (same as car). You'll have to ask Chaad if that was by design or luck(?). I know originally he was going for a 2 tone wheel, but had problems at the Pcoater. That's all I know... I was just the dude with a camera.

Here's a better pic, Keith. It's not a glamour shot, but it'll have to do for now; we haven't had but five-minutes-here-five-minutes-there of sunshine in a few days!

As Andrew said, the wheels are a light grey, and the caps white to match the body (yes, by design!). That said, I'm not convinced the white caps achieve what I want (i.e. a well-finished look), so I'm gonna paint 'em to match the wheels tomorrow.

Chad, try to photoshop the wheels to have a white outline in the openings...might give you the finished look you want. I would also photoshop the outside rim in white and see how that looks.

Cameron,

Did you need to roll your fenders to fit them under the car?


Hope you guys don't mind, I've been using your wheel shots for wallpaper these past few weeks!
