Got a big day tomorrow. going to paint my s4 wheels black, and thinkin bout doin a red trim around it. not sure if i wana do it tho. i like how this looks

so i might do it like that, or do the outside trim red. for guys who have painted their wheels before, what kind of primer, paint, and clear coat did you use?

im also gona re-paint the calipers red, fix my oil leak, and wash, wax, and claybar her. i'll be sure to take before and after pics to get ya'lls opinions

 

Can't wait for the pictures!

Good luck on that.

 

im a fan of the outside red trim depending on the rims. do you have those exact same rims?

also, how dare u copy me painting the calipers red, jk

 

i used duplicolor primer and flat black, i just did the black wheels....... that guy is on zine..... and i am thinking about doing my calipers and ring a different color than what everyone else does

 

you can search my name an get more pix

 

color match or close to along with the red part of the center cap

 

yeah my wheels are the same as the ones pictured. i've heard engine paint has really good durability. this true?

 

yes it does. usually anything taht can stand hot temp is good lol

 

i used krylon and it works better than i could of hoped for

 

today has been retarded and now im gonna have to finish the project tomorrow. woke up this morning and went to autozone. got everything i needed for the project except they only had 2 cans of the paint i wanted left. i figured i would just hit up another store for the remaining 2 cans and i hopped in line. the line was like 10 people long and took 20 min. i was 3rd in line and all the computers in the place went down[:@] so i had to leave all the stuff i got and go to another store. went to advanced auto and they also didn't have the paint i wanted either so i headed over to napa auto parts and...you guessed it, they didn't have it either. went all the way to the other side of town to the other autozone and they had everything except they also only carried 2 cans of the paint i wanted[&o] what kinda fukin store only has 2 cans?!?!? so i buy everything and head BACK to the other autozone, whose computers were now baack up and got the last 2 cans i needed. a quick trip that was supposed to take 30 min turned into 3 hours[:@]

then i get home and start taking off the wheels...only my lug wrench has gone missing...great. i try my 3/8 drive wrench with an extension and snapped the metal end right off...great...i try my 1/2 drive and the socket isn't deep enough so back to autozone. grab a 17mm deep socket and head back home. the lugs wouldn't budge so i took the handle off my jack and used it as a cheater bar to get more torque. it worked and i got the first wheel off. then when taking off the second wheel my 1/2 drive socket wrench breaks(just spins freely now) so i go BACK to autozone and just get a 1/2 drive breaker bar and that did the trick. 2 wheels are sitting on my back porch drying, and im gona have to clean and paint the calipers and paint the remaining rims tomorrow cuz its getting dark out.
