i am just curious if we can get the same consistancy with painting the lighter bronze over the black. you might have bronze rims, but in four different shades. you know what i mean? might as well look for a different maker of the rattle can paint that has the exact color you want.
actually looking at the calender.. Im free all week before leaving on Thur.. and if we get 3 more ppl to help, this should be a one day job only.
anyone have time from Sun-Wed? mainly Aloh whose got finals...
btw bff, the guy says he only has time to work on 2 cars a day.. so I told him u n me can do it together. maybe get a group shot of our cars.. Anthony, wanna ask if ur girl wanna be a model
I feel weird with my own friends modeling my car.. its like ehhh..

tony, if you dont like the glossy finish, there are matte and satin clear coats. This way, you will still get the protection but just without the gloss finish.
If the shades are off, I highly doubt it will be easy to detect. The wheels are kind of far apart. I think the only way you could actually tell they were different is if tehy were right next to eachother. If we just use the same amount of layers of paint on all the wheels, the paint should match fine.

trust me, getting the shades right with paint is hard in this case. just get the right color so we don't have to deal with that whole issue.
i'm free on those days, or at least i CAN be free. just have to tell me which day in advance so i can check to see if i can shift my schedule around or something.
i don't mind if you got some hot female friends bff... they can model next to my car! haha... i didn't know chicks will be involved, but I LIKE IT!!! good looking out bff... haha

^ I think doing 1-2 thin layers of black just for the base color.. then 3-4 layers of bronze would be good.. then 2-3 layers of clear coat. I'll be sure to look at the matte clear coats.
Tue is good for me!
Mikey, Nelson are u guys free? this way the wheels can dry Wed, ill put them on Wed night and leave thur

tuesday... hmmm... i have to check... but i will make it free even if i have some crap to do. this would have to be done after i get off of work tho. i'll try to leave early on tuesday so we can get your wheels done before you leave for new york.
as for the bronze... just try to find something you are happy with. i know dark bronze is kinda rare. but just find a shade that you are cool with and buy an extra can for touch up later or something. oh and like alex said... you can get the matte clear coat thingy... get that... so you don't get as many chips on the wheels when you start driving around.
hey for the your friends that want to be in the shoot.. i need pics man... gotta make sure they good lookin first! hahaha... your taste and mine might be different. lol

^im not using my friend.. lets use Anthony's friend or gf she works at HIN anyways right
What time do u get off work? cause we are going to need a good 3 hours minimum to do this with 4 people... each layer need at least 15 min to dry.. final layer probably need 30 min. before we can start on painting
