Ok, I was bored, waiting for my new Volks, so I decided to do something different.

All you need is a Silver marker.......


Carb and Choke Cleaner to remove excess paint........


A Rag and a fan for ventilation, (trust me you need it!).......


And you can go from this..........


To this........



Hope you guys like it. The trick is to let the paint settle in the crack of the lettereing and then with the rag soaked in the Choke cleaner, wipe the surface. It's tricky but it comes out nice.

Reviews please!!!!!

 

Heh that looks pretty cool. It'll come off quick, but still looks cool. I have the same ones. They're light as hell! Btw, how did the black paint not come off?

 

HAHA I LOVE IT!!! It's like what you do to your gundam models to acheive those body panel lines.

 

they're annodized black & you can't remove them with regular cleaning solvents.

 

That is correct! Metal is melted with plack paint in it. I don't think the silver paint will fade right away. It's a permanent paint pen. We'll see. Only time will tell.

 

Nice job. Very clean custom mod.

 

pretty cool, it might look good with something like blue or red in the grooves.

 

Hmm... looks good i might just do that.

 

wow nice. next set of lugs I get, that is done! (blue anodized with either black or white lettering.)

 

My wheels and my car are silver. If anybody does another color post some pics.

 

wow thats definitely pretty cool

 

someone with Time Attack TE/CE's and red lugs should try and make the outline black. nice diy mod!

 

the finish actually does wash out over time even with regular soap and water but still light lugs

 

the finish actually does wash out over time even with regular soap and water but your accents look nice

i have some other permanent marker... its some gold color.. with the cleaner take anypermanent marker off? or just some markers? i will post up anyways... if i comes out

 

Lol. You're totally right. They are fading fast but at least I can touch them up.

About the gold color. I think you'll be ok. If not buy another brand. You're just gonna have to touch it up every once in a while.

 

hmm, my rims are coming off during the winter time along with my rays lugs, I think I found my winter project!

 

Sounds like a plan. How cold does it get in ontario? I went to F1 @ Montreal and I saw all the heaters in front of people's driveways. Must get real cold.

 

props on originality!! A++ i like
