When I bought my car it had the 14" with hubcaps so I bought a set of stock GT wheels off a local and they were OK. They were rashed and dinged up a bit so I finally had the opportunity to paint them. I thought about doing gunmetal but I want it to still look stock so I stuck with the silver - and it was a perfect match - they look brand new. anyway, pics

taped up and paint ( no clearcoat yet )



painted and clearcoated



the pics really don't do them justice. They shine >> next I need to buff them and maybe wet sand them.

I should of taken a before pic >> they used to be peeling and a little darker in some spots ( after I would clean the brake dust off, it looked like it was still there )

nice work!

looks good. are you gonna end up painting them a different color? and how long did it take you??

I stuck with silver. It took about 2-3 hours for paint. The toughest part was getting them off the car (and putting the old 14s back on) and lugging them up to the 3rd floor >>

once the clear is comletely hard (hopefully tomorrow - I have a fan on them overnight) I will putt hem back on and snap some pics >>

go mad with the clearcoat... i painted 2 of mine last spring and needless to say i did not use enough clearcoat. the wheels pick up tons of dirt and crap and they already are looking iffy... the only unaffected parts are where i really overdid it, or so I thought, and now they look normal and havent aged because the excess spray smoothed over >>

thats my next project >>

what kind of paint did you use? just your average silver paint and clear coat spray?

I used dupli-color wheel paint (silver) and clearcoat. duplli-color how 2 for wheels

saleeka, what did you use ? dupli-color ?

looks good batty, hit me up on aim man, long time no talk! >>

Nice job man. I keep forgetting how good stock alloys look.

Looks like the stock color, but yes go mad with the clear.

I put about two coats on mine and it seems from all the salt we have on our roads, ate the **** out of the fronts clear, so im going to pull off and do the fronts again. but i think im also going to do a lil wet sanding too.

Looks nice

wanna do mine! >>
