So I've been thinking about what I wanna do with this car next year once the weather gets nice again... especially in terms of rims. I had a thought that bronze would look good with the blue, so I decided to do a sample... photoshop just isn't the same effect so I decided to paint my stock wheels bronze instead. Then at least I have something that sets me out a bit for the winter, as well.
For those interested I used 100 grit sand paper, followed by 220 grit, to sand down the wheels nice and smooth... and then bronze duplicolor wheel paint. I only used about 2 coats of paint on the rims, and it got cold as I was finishing so there's a bit of run on the rims but you don't notice that in the pics I have. Also I think I only let them cure for about 5-10 minutes before I drove... still no flaking though even after a car wash.
Onto pics...
I'll get close ups later. I only have my cell to take pics cuz my camera is busted so next time I think of it I'll snap a close-up.
