Painted Fangs and Valance
 
I did it with the help from simota1 and Minicobra1's DIY.
It was very easy and it came out great.
I was quoted $400+ to do them.
Tried them out and dished out $30 and 6+ hours
I'm happy with the results.

I'll touch it up using a fine brush, but over all a decent job for a noob.

nice man! I think it needs some tattoos now Lol! what brand of paint did you use for the clear and where did you buy it? cuz im going to do this but just want to go for a good brand.

TreeSemdyZee 06-16-2010 01:05 AM

Thanks for the info. I really like the back like that and have been pondering doing it myself. What kind/brand of paint did you use?

Gunzero 06-16-2010 01:10 AM

Thanks guys,
The materials I used was Krylon Fusion for plastic [Flat] and Krylon Clear [Flat]
3 THIN coats of Flat. Let it have 20 min interval to dry.
2 coats of Clear [I found that the clear evens out the paint pretty good]

Good luck!
It's easy! The hard part is masking it and making the lines perfect.
If it doesn't go too well, you can always redo it or use a fine brush to touch it up!

Can you post more pics of the back?

Gunzero 06-16-2010 07:25 AM

Sure man, I'll take pics after school. :]

Even though you are, at times, a useless addition to this forum, you have proven yourself to be quite handy. I'd expect nothing less from you. Lookin' good. ;)

m4a1mustang 06-16-2010 07:30 AM

Do you have more pics of the finished wheels?
