Painted SE-R rims

dry · Jan 22nd, 2003, 05:31 PM

Alright I got my SE-R rims on monday morning so since then I've spent countless hours polishing the lips and sanding them to be painted. I have painted one and have a picture here

tell me what you think of it... the lip will be polished I just didnt take off the masking tape yet. I'm happy with the way it came out and I'll post more pictures when they are 100% done. That'll be by friday night cuz I have to leave for school Saturday morning.

I just painted my junk yard GXE rims and they came out excellent too. These alloys are surprisingly very paintable. If I had any errors or heavy drips, I would just wet sand it with 600 grit (I think), repaint and there you go, simple fix. Just make sure you use a quality brand name paint. I then let them cure in the furnace room at work for a few days. What flaws there are can only been seen if you stoop down and examine them. I also made sure to sand and paint the bead so the tires will seat well.

Looks great so far. What color did you use?

its Duplicolor paint color is Grafite. I heard about it on DSMtuners.com I saw somebody used this on his stock wheels and they looked great. The good news is I have primed the other 3 wheels its just too cold outside for spraypaint tonight (4) so I'm gonna spray them tommorow... get the tires put on them and them on the car on friday and have pics then.

for the white SER rims

The white looks good too.

I got a suggestion. Why dont you just put all of your pics on one site, so we can see the changes all at once. Instead of having seperate sites with one pic.
