Painted my Si wheels (with pics of Skiboard's ride)
Ok, so as most of you know, i have my Motegis in the summer and in the winter i drive around on my stock Si wheels, and over the summer i was planing on painting em gunmetal, (kinda like my summer wheels). Anyways, that's what i did today with the help of Skiboard, and since he helped out, i'm lending him my wheels for the show this weekend.
here's what they look like:




by the way, thanx john, this would have taken so long had i done it alone!

^^ I don't remember who it was, but a few months ago some guy came on the site, he had a blue coupe with his Si wheels painted purple. I never met the guy, but i saw his car parked on merivale road once. rims weren't that nice

^ the paint is called "Dupli-color" i got it at Canadian Tire and we also used a primar first. It's high performance wheel coating (well, that's what it sais on the bottle). If you need some i still have some left.

He sanded them and used "Duplicolor" paint which he bought at a place called Canadian Tire...that's basically like Pep Boys to you. It's a spray, no dipping. He and Skiboard did it in his garage.
