Started painting the Z's wheels
Started on the wheels today and I wanted more of a GTR gunmetal wheel color than the Duplicolor graphite wheel paint which almost looks bronze/brown. So I chose Duplicolor Storm grey and this is what I have so far. And sorry for the cell phone pics.
Before: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...pphpC4KhNk.jpg After first coat of paint: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...pphpW870Xs.jpg After three coats of Duplicolor wheel clear: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...pphpNAyJh0.jpg Now 3 more wheels to do... :icon22: |
Looks good, in for pics on the Z.
|
Question: Is that coat going to hold in daily driving conditions?
|
nice job. I just took my wheels off tonight to do the same thing

|

just wondering, why didn't you just do all 4 at once? I just have all my wheels prepped, and then 1 coat to each of em... wait a bit, then another coat to all of em, etc.
BTW, to save some tape (and probably time), I just get a bunch of note cards and line them up along the edge of the rim. Works great for me. |
looks pretty good man...updates pics with them on the car
|
in for final pics
|
Color looks great. Hopefully it will hold up.

I only have one jack to do the work with and I figure I will just take my time since I am in no hurry anyway. I took a sick day today to work on them though. The first one is mounted on the car and I have started on another... this time its more challenging since I am having to repair curb damage thanks to the mindless girl who used to own it. Oh and this pic sucks I know but the sun was coming into the garage and freaking out my camera... thats the only angle I could get at the moment.

Good call! Very nice.
|
that sure makes them look a lot better. hope it doesn't chip off easily.
|
I love the color but I really have to say I hate the stock wheels. Guess I will finish the other 2 and keep saving up for wheels.
