i woke up at 7:30 and it was still dark lol, had to work for like almost 1hr in the dark, lol but they are lookin sweet!

:D

It started drizzling when I finished washing the car.. :sad:. Did the weather in Germany today hamper your mission?

[YAN-3]

na.. although it is a bit colder now and windy and well dark.

[mtechnik]

good

sexy wheels, but i'm not sure about the black centers. They'd look killer with some bright silver or platinum paint on the centers and polished lips.

[uofom3]

i agree about the black centers... maybe just a dark silver?? work looks great either way!

[Ray Smoodiver]

chrome silver spray would be cool.

[YAN-3]

wow stripping the old pain is becoming harder and tougher than i thought. i bought industrial strength stripper and after 4 coats i still have some left on it. any suggestions???i wanna spray them allready. (i know, i know, i have 0 patience)

looks good Yan, but Id go with a dark gunmetal before black on the centers

[MR 325]

I'm thinking silver/gunmetalish centers would be better than black.
