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.

so i ifnished them, also tried to do the camaro lettering on the baack but i messed up.
anyway, i think i might have 4 right side salad shooters. unless im mistaken they should all extend from the center in a spiral to the right correct?

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
me too, i thought it might cause problems down the road.
