I got a set of 7 & 8s the other day that had a gold finish. That finish wasn't going to work for me. Since I'm outa work, I can't afford a pro to do them and since I have time on my hands, I gave it a shot. They could be better and now that I've done one set, another set would be easier.
T.C. Pre-finish (the 7's, which I sold) RSR DIY finish (8's) I also screw'd around with a set of Cookie Cutters |

Painted and sitting in the Sun to bake Couple of questions. I have black wheels, stock SC/Carerra wheels. Paint is all in good shape. What do you think about just clean, mask and paint with silver? Also, On the outer lip, it apears in the second set you did...you did not paint right up to the transition of the surface....but you hung dow a bit? Any reason for that? is that the correct way of doing it etc? What silver paint did you use? Rich Rich, you would need to make sure that they are super clean - I would at least wipe them with Mineral Spirits, then hit it with a Super Fine Sand Paper. The Paint needs super thing to grip to. I did not do the Outer Lip because a Tire Machine would tear up the Paint The Silver Paint is Rustoliem Matte Nickel |
