hey guys, not postin these so i can get flamed, just sharing for ppl who are short on cash here are my rims i sprayed this morning job look about 3 hours all up cost me $30 (had some spray stuff), and yea, i know itll need a recoat, but its a change, i cant afford rims atm, im off to england in 2 weeks time and its costin me a bomb so i wanted a quick change to the wheels seeing as the front ones had loads of sh!t from the brakes on them i will be paintin the Z in the middle yellow next weekend and will be putting a yellow line around the outside and probs yellow calipers while im at it im aware these need another coat of paint, im aware i shudnt have sprayed them, i am aware my car needs a clean but WHO CARES.
nah mate not bad for a temporary.... read TEMPORARY.... fix. some tyre shine and theyd come up nice!!!!
What sort of paint did you use? I'm wondering if the heat off the brakes would be an issue? After a long drive the other day through the city (stop/starts) during rain, I was sitting at the lights and my wheels were all smoking. Looked so cool haha.
i used White Knight SLS Primer, 2 coats, White Knights Rust Guard Matt Black, 4 coats, then 3 coats of a clear White Knight Gloss Acrylic, tho it looks like a matt finish cos of the matt black soaks alot of the gloss finish up, its more or a Satin finish, not bad seeing as i only decided to do it on friday night. i dint think much about the heat lol, that rust guard paint is good stuff, im 70% sure it has an okay temp rating. ill read on the can later on n find out. thanks for the positive feedback, was really expecting to get flamed for this
Well done, did a good job of those I should flame you for having an NA but I got into the trouble the last time I played with fire so I won't
green ones look like a photoshop.... and i really really hope i am right your ones look good man, no one can complain about an improvement and they are definitely improved over stock :zlove:
lol looks sooo bad. green is possbily the worst colour ever on a zeds rims. little own green on a WHITE zed. :vomit::lame: but the black rims look great. my mate did it on his 180 type x on the stock rims. he did a red outline. and then he put nissan badges(chromed) in the middle. i would do that to mine but they are in the back yard being polished everynight might sell them tho.. they are so shiny i almost burn my hand on the bbq like on that duck toilet add haha. keep up the good work. rod.
