I started coating the set of wheels I bought the other night. I decided to go with a metalic bronze. The batteries in my real cameraare dead, so I could onlky take shots with my phone for now. I will post up some real pics when I get a new battery.

This is before the clear coat yet!:

 

looks like the acura rims i saw today

Jeff - is the clearcoat powder coated as well

 

btw that's a kick ass compressor i see

did you get a deal on it

 

Yes, the clear coat is powder as well. It will privide UV protection and added gloss to the metalic. I am heading out to do it now.

Thats why metalics are a PITA to do becuse it is a two step proces unlike the other colrs that are single step.



Oh yeah, the compressor is great. I got it for about $320!!!

Took it home in the SUV too

 

NICE!!!

man my rims would look nice white but bit i hate spending more on cars now

 

when you coat them is whole rim or just the face (if that makes sense)

 

He does the whole rim. I asked the same question about his black wheels at the dyno day meet.

 

Yup. Whole rim. Just finished clearing that wheel, when it is done curng I am going to hit the shower!

 

It DOES look BA!!!

 

thanks Ryan.

I cleared it last night and it looks like you could go swimming in them


My calipers just came in though, so the wheels are on hold. I am going to Nordic lodge tonight so I can't touch em till tomorrow night though.
