i stuffed up my DIY for spraying my rims white... im so cut.. make sure you do let them dry and come back to spray them.. dont be in a rush cause the suns going down like i was.. so blochy! FAROUT!! I WANT TO CRY.
that's why he is suggesting to get rid of them lmfao
man my limit is about $500-$600 to get some 17" average condition rims, i dont mind if its been dinted a bit but nobodys willing too let go of the type of rims im after (spoked, 5-8 star spoked) rims for that much
id rather do my rims black, and see how they turn out. my mate spent $2k on brand new rims 17" lightweight racing, they look ****ing great but id have a benchmark.. i mean ill prob chuck em out once the rubbers worn out anyway might as well
UPDATE So i did the rims finally with some $3 matt black spray paint, did a half assed job to see how black would look:
prepp'ed the surface with 80 grit sand paper (not coarse enough). cleaned it several times over with spray bottle + warm detergent and turps. didnt bother sanding between coats (you should, adhere's better)
prepped + light coat of black spray paint:
5-6 coats later: should of used a dark grey primer =/:
on the car, looks ok. bit boring imo.
black vs chrome.
i think "metallic charcoal" is the way 2 go picked some of that up + grey primer + 60 grit sand paper. for anyone doing rims, too get your primer/paint to stick on nicely you're gonna need some coarse as hell sandpaper.
i got "metallic charcoal" that basically is gunmetal grey, not AS dark though, its a hint lighter. but its very metallic. i think matt just doesn't go with my car. the chromies are too shiny, and matt is too boring unless i had spoked rims imo.
