Sprayed My TSX Wheels Gloss Black

07 NBP FG1 Coupe · 08-19-2009, 08:16 PM

So the other night, my friend and I sprayed my TSX Wheels Gloss Black.

We got a late start and didn't have enough time to do everything we wanted but they still turned out pretty well.

We wet sanded, then applied one coat of black primer and then 2 coats of gloss black.

What sucked is that it got dark after the first coat of gloss black so when we did the second coat we couldn't see if we needed to touch up a few spots.

So there are a couple of spokes where the inside is less solid than the rest but you can't tell unless you look up close so I guess it's alright.

I wanted to do one or two coats of clear for protection but again, we ran out of time.

It's not perfect but I'm satisfied with it.

And for the record, I KNOW that I need to drop my car, just haven't gotten around to it yet especially since I'm looking for a new job now..

Let me know what you think.

I dunno if its me. But they look like LX hubcaps but just as rims!? But nonetheless. Looks clean.

What grit of sand paper did you use? 300?

Thanks

These are the only 3 pics I took since I did my wheels.
But there's nothing else really to see.

The lip, wheels, and window tint are the only cosmetic mods I've done.

Whenever I get some cash I want to drop it, then tint my headlights and tail lights to murder it out.
But who knows when that will be :P

I used 600 just to be safe and because my friend who does a lot of painting recommended it.

Hm.. maybe it's just you :P

If you look at one, then the other, you can see a very clear difference

ever thought of painting your calipers red?? or black if ud like to keep "black color theme" going on? look real sick.

aac0036 · 08-20-2009, 03:23 PM

Can I suggest spacers? I know they're expensive too but along with a drop both would make it look sharp. Me likes the black!!

CA12207 · 08-20-2009, 05:07 PM

^ yea that too. agreed, would look sharp

R18-Power · 08-20-2009, 05:09 PM

Yeah, I thought about that too but wasn't sure what the biggest size I could fit would be without sacrificing too many spins on the thread.
