my black bottlecap RESULTS

[JamesE30]

Thanks to Jesse30 for the tips on painting technique.
Did mine exactly the same however i masked around each individual spoke, andused the flat finish.

I sourced some rustoleum (alot harder to find in australia than i thought). i was hoping for the satin finish but they only had flat or gloss. I fucking love how it turned out. So much better than i hoped.

I'll just do a quick berfore and after, and post a proper update in my other thread later this week. i also got brand new wheel badges to complete the improvment!:D


btw this is only my spare i did as a test. i need an impact wrench to get my anti theft lugs off w/out stripping them. will do tommoro

Woah! That looks great! I may have to do that to my set of winter bottlecaps!

[JamesE30]

Thanks for the good feedback guys!
like i said, i've only done my spare so far, so no mounted pics yet.
i got the anti theft lugs off thismorning so ill paint the other 4 wheels over next couple of days.
i expect the others to look even better as this was really a "practice"
will post pics later in my other thread
