Black Rims with coloured lip (Basic DIY Style)
Posted this a while a go in another thread,
had a few people before ask me how i did it.
Anyway was very simple. Most would do it differently im not fussed. Was just a quick thing i did one day.....
If you want to do this properly please use proper paint, all i used at the time was SCA (Super-cheap auto) i think it was Australian export or what ever that $3 stuff is.
Anyway, don't have many pics as I was lazy but here is most of it.
What i started off with:

Sprayed 2cans of Undercoat Primer and left it to dry for about 2-3 hours.
Came back added 2-3 light coats of the black paint.

On the car:

Had some left over primer so i took the lid/cover of an old bucket/container and primered up the lip again. I then followed previous steps and painted the lip (in this case was a gloss red)...I added 2-3 coats of this and waited for it to dry:

As you can tell by the pics, I did not take the effort to mask the tyres off, so i picked up some satin black paint, put an old rim over the wheels i painted and sprayed the tyre over-spray in a satin black:

Put them on car, and done.

Then got over it all and got different rims that fitted better....and started it all over again :zip:
PS: all up would have cost around $15 in materials (if that) lasted good 6months on car with no dramas and are still sitting in shed fine.
