Considering picking up a local set of the BBS RC's. The GTI/GLI ones. 18x7.5 +38. Any recommendations on tire size? Something like a 225/40?

all i said was nfsu2. not that the color was ugly. they are. its just the first thing i thought of was the nfsu2 powder coats. 75% of my childhood was that game. i havent figured out what color to paint the pisa wheels when/if i get them.

Really up close, less than 2ft you can see where the black under coat ran on a few wheels, but as everything has to be sprayed w/o fully drying I just kept going rather than stop and wait for it to dry.
2 coats of black, 4 coats of rustoleum color shift, 3 coats of 2part Nason urethane clear coat. Just under 4 hours total start to finish for 9 coats of paint! Highly recommend a real respirator I think I will be painting my stock rims this fall when I have the tires unmounted. And probably my motorcycle too, but for both those projects I think I just going to use automotive grade paints, rather than rustoleum under with auto grade clear Last edited by flyboy1100; 05-02-2013 at 10:59 AM. |

I had never used a hvlp gun before (or any paint gun for that matter), and after spraying the clear, I am not afraid to do it again, rattle can doesn't even come close to the quality, and the speed is much faster!
Just need to find a good color for my motorcycle and factory wheels, probably will do the same for both as 2part paints are much more expensive |

5th picture down you can see one of the spokes has a run on it near the hub, but i had to do some searching through all the pics. I also know what I am looking for, it is amazing the chameleon does a pretty good job of masking it.
is it winter again so I can put these on? (definitly jk i want to ride my motorcycle dangit!) |

my clear still hasn't fully hardened. i should have left the heater going last night hopefully it will still harden now that i turn the heat back on and made a temporary oven.
seems better today, just in case i put the heat back on them again and will leave it on for another 3-4 hours (was on last night for about 3hours) Last edited by flyboy1100; 05-03-2013 at 02:06 PM. |
