    my black bottlecap RESULTS

    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

        Looks like you did a nice job. Got any pictures of them mounted?

                    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
