some quick prepping-after a good wash and some going over with steel wool.


After the first application- still wet.


1st coat dried and ready for additional coats


final paint with silver caps- i was trying to decide if i should leave them silver



The 1st rim completed- it doesnt look too bad if i say so myself. what do you guys think?
No the centercap isnt popped all the way in. i didnt want to chance scratching before install



There are defects, due to the condition of the rims but i was kinda in a hurry to get these done. With some more sanding and steel wool and then new coats of plasti-dip it can look like it came out of a factory, but im satisfied as is.

I will put the rims on tomorrow.

AFAIK there are no left side and right side salad shooters. They are all the same which I always thought was odd.

thanks and i have no idea why they look small. maybe cuz of the low profile tire or the pics angle.

front vette rim is 17" and the backs are 18"s

I like what you did to center caps, it would've looked better leaving the lip of wheel unpainted or polished.
