I no see no rims.

Gunzero 06-14-2010 10:55 PM

Hmm why not?

AK370Z 06-14-2010 10:59 PM

looks good. Our member simota1 did red stripes. Which doesn't look bad either.

Thanks AK370z,

Those do look nice. :]
Keeping it simple for now.

it seems like they came out pretty good, you spray them in a flat black?

Gunzero 06-15-2010 11:08 AM

They came out fantastic!
The guy sprayed it flat black then did clear coat then resprayed it flat again for a semi-gloss.

fairladyZ34 06-15-2010 11:21 AM

oh you had a painter do them, thats why they came out so good

Gunzero 06-15-2010 12:05 PM

Haha yea. It wasn't bad. $125

WheelTrends 06-15-2010 12:08 PM

Finish was pretty good. Keep it clean an simple.

Gunzero 06-15-2010 12:13 PM

Thanks! Next is the rear valance and the front fangs.
I'll attempt it today. If I mess up I'll take it to the paint guy hehe.

WheelTrends 06-15-2010 12:34 PM

Why waste your time get it done right the first time.. My opinion.. Take it Stright to the painter. lol...

Gunzero 06-15-2010 07:45 PM

Well just did the fangs and valance. Came out great :)
need a little retouch with a small brush, but that's easy!
Overall saved myself about $400 :)

Not bad, I would recommend that you paint the center caps as well and purchase some black lugs.

Gunzero 06-16-2010 12:15 AM

Hey! Thanks a lot.
I thought about that, but that'll be too black. It will make the door handles stick out like crazy.
This balances it out at least hehe.
