Another rattle canned my wheels thread w/not so good *pics*

[Opi]

Took the wheels off, used 3m painters tape corner pieces (I would recommend 3-4 rolls of 60 a piece because i kept screwing up. Rustoleum aluminum metallic paint or something, 400 grit sandpaper and clearcoat. 3 coats of paint, 2-3 of clear. I actually impressed myself. Oh and threw on my ventvisors too

Before, pitted and gross

During

After

Looks good man!

BTW, I saw a trick somewhere on here....I think it was Miller's build thread....he used old playing cards and slipped them between the rim and the tire, instead of masking tape! Worked really well!

Thanks! I thought about that too, but silver paint overspray is really noticable so i decided to cover the tire, used this thread as a guide
