I'm putting on the clearcoat now. 8)

[nando]

this is what they looked like when I first got them, after I spent 5 hours cleaning them:



do people in the UK believe in washing their wheels? ;)

[LikeCDoos]

it's hard to tell, but are the centers darker than the lip? if so they will look great. Maybe after your done you could include a DIY info list on products to use and tips to make it easier. Great job

[GaryE30]

:shock: Looks Great. I'm going to do the same to mine when I get basketweaves, cept, they're going to be painted Lachssilber. :up:

[nando]

it's hard to tell because there's tape on the lips, but the centers are nogarosilver and the lips are sterlingsilver.

I'm clearcoating them this evening, I'm hoping that they will be dry enough tomorrow for me to put them on, but I dunno.. I've spent so many hours working on them so far it'd suck ass if one of the goons at the local tire shop messed them up.. :)

[Jordan]

Looks good. Don't rush mounting of the tires. I assume you are using spray can paint, so EXPECT the outside lip to be messed up during tire installation. Let it cure as much as possible before having the tires mounted.

here's one of the wheels without the tape so you can see the colors better:


there is no clearcoat on the wheel yet either :P

yeah I'm not sure if I'll mount them tomorrow. I've already waited 3 months, I suppose a couple days won't hurt much. I am using spray cans, but it's decent quality stuff. the basecoat is factory paint, not sure about the clearcoat.

[LikeCDoos]

looks great man once the tape was removed. Euro weaves are hot. Are you going to run them with centercaps? I think it looks great w/o centers.

[KenC]

NICE! I was about the email you and ask how the painting was going. Lookin' great!

[nando]

yeah I'm going to run centercaps, I like it much better with them personally.

[KenC]

You painted the caps too? Do you have pictures of them?

So those are your 15" euro baskets? They look just like the Sport Evo ones now. :up:

[Rob]

if the tire place knows their shit and has proper equipment, your wheels will be fine

[jweb]

:up: Hot!
