How much sanding and how many coats ?? they look great.

That looks hot man, great work.

 

Just light sanding with 1500 grit sand paper Two coats of paint and one coat of gloss

 

Very slick. Did you spend more on the tape then the paint?

 

Looks good!!!!

 

looks nice, good job

 

looking good.

giving me some ideas

 

well fortunately, I had like three rolls of tape just lying arround, so I didnt really spend money on that, But I did use an a$$ load of tape! But the hardest part was taping it all up. Painting took like 30 min. with clear and all.
I probably spent a total of $20-$25.

 

did you use DUPLI-COLOR ??

 

Yes I did, I think it was like 5.99 a can at autozone. I used bout 1 can but I bought 2 just to be safe.

 

Used it on my calipers this last summer..good stuff...

 

that is bad ***

 

Looks good man, looks way better than the stock look. Gives the car a whole new attitude.good job

 

I like it . Did you leave the hammer on wheel weight's on while you painted them ?

 

Very nice. I'm thinking about doing the same to mine. Please enlighten us, what paint did you use?

No hurry though, I want to bump this in a year and see how the paint is standing up to everything. I'm a brake ***** and I know 1000+ degrees will be seen at some point, and often...so I'm worried about how these home done paint jobs hold up.

 

haha copy cat! lol jk man looks badass! i really dig it....i might throw some clear coat on mine not sure....maybe i will....later though right now i dig the flat dull look.
