A little more paint work!

**Capster78** · 04-25-2006, 06:52 PM

I thought the stock polished aluminum rims did no justice to the rest of the car with the new paint job so I decided to paint them to match the cars color. I figured the polished lip would add some depth. The wheels were banged up a little in a few spots so I figured what the hell!! Turned out better than I thought.

I'm not a fan of the hockey stick either but the wheels look interesting from what I can see of them.

Rained today.. grrrr.. Hopefully it will be nice out friday. Probably better anyhow because I need to give it some detail work.

**oneBADDz** · 04-26-2006, 02:14 PM

looks good, I liked it right after you got the stripes and sticks on there and I like it more now. It's nice to see something you don't see on every other T/A around. Good job man

**Capster78** · 04-26-2006, 04:30 PM

thats what I was goin for. Thanks

**ScrapMaker** · 04-28-2006, 02:53 PM

did you sand them before you painted them, because don't our stock ws6 rims have a clearcoat on them?

I hane a red SS with dark gray stripes. That is the exact color I would like to paint the wheels. What color did you use. Thanks for the help.

**Uno99** · 04-30-2006, 12:01 PM

My stocker are painted black pics are in my sig I wish I would have left the lip silver.

For men who color coordinate.

**Capster78** · 04-30-2006, 01:17 PM

Its a custom color, along with the stripes. My bro mixed it to match the WS6 decal on the hood for the stripes. We took the same paint and applied it to the rims. We actually used a slightly darker shade on the center of the wheel around the WS6 emblem and blended it out to a slightly lighter shade around the outside of the rim.

I leave Thursday morning the 4th
