Wow! Those look gorgeous, both the red and the blue....Great job. I wish I had a reason to do it but there's no need to paint a GG EX haha

Bueno

Wow man thats awesome! can you just do a diy on it without painting the rims? is baking them necessary? im afraid that if you use steel wool wont it make it uneven or something? i have to try this out because i have two wheels that are curbed pretty bad on the rim. Can you give me some help on how to fix this? thanks man.

no i took the masking tape off.. you have to use towels or oven mits to get them out of the oven, but should be cool to the touch within half hour or so...also you have to let the paint/clearcoat dry overnight

if you just have curbed rims, just clean the area VERY good, and then put some bondo (thats what i used) on the spot where its curbed and sand it into the cracks, then let it dry, sand it and get it smooth, then paint the area. or if you cant match the color of your wheel paint the whole thing. and the baking isnt necessary, just made the red shinier on mine. and i did this months and months ago and my bondo is still holding up lol

oo man. Im so excited. Im planning on painting my stock si rims white with a red lip. I think it'll look HOT!. Im so tempted I want to paint them sometime now, but here in NY right about now its reallly cold and soon snow will come so I dont think it'll be worth it. Maybe ill just wait till spring.
