Rims Teaser
That hopefully you will like

BANG!! That's your only tease










OK I can't be that much of an a$$

Name: rims001.jpg Views: 135 Size: 79.0 KB














Maybe one more

Name: rims002.jpg Views: 76 Size: 96.1 KB



This is we I'm at right now. Washed, sanded, cleaned, primed, 1 coat of Duplicolor Engine Gloss Black. I'll be putting another coat then clear. Only the rear rims for now since I don't have time to do all 4 before my golf game at 2:30 so the other 2 will be done tomorrow and pics intalled will be tomorrow as well.

When I put the clear should I let the paint dry first or put the clear right after paint?

Feedback/comments welcome!

Looks good, now use a little tire shine and it'll set them off real well.

I'm interested... payday FTW

I get tired of cleaning my rims... having them black means I could wait 3-4 weeks between washing, lol
