Needed a change and didn't want to spend alot of money so I painted my OEM Wheels Ultra Flat black. I'm happy with the way they came out but nothing can beat buying new wheels which will come later.

Here is a couple pics of the process: (my friend sucks at taking pictures apparently)

My makeshift mask off


Spraying Primer


Carefully putting the wheels back on.




Back on.


Final Product





I took one wheel off at a time scrubbed it, sanded it, scrubbed it again, one coat of black primer, one coat of ultra flat black and voila. I painted the lugs the next morning after it was back on the car so the tire iron wouldn't mess them up.

and here is a pic of my new exhaust

 

Looks Good!

 

Damn it, more and more threads like this are coming up. It's a sign-- time to do mine. Looks good

 

Cheap mods FTW!

Makes the car look more aggressive. Sweet!

 

Gloss black would have been better but props for DIY.

 

Nice job. I've always liked the look of flat black AP1 stockers.

 

looking good, and props for DIY

now take that chunk of saved dough and give her a little drop

 

I'm ordering Espelier springs within the next month and the reason i didnt go glossy is i love how stealthy the wheels are at night. looks like i dont have wheels haha

 

looks good

 

Looks pretty good, although the bottom of the spoke in pic#3 doesn't look like it got fully painted.
