    Painted Bottle Caps Opinions Needed, Apply Within

    Ok so I decided to paint my Bottle Caps Black today. I need help deciding if I should paint the outside lip red, polish it or leave it as is. I really like how they look with the red trim.

        <-- sig
        But it's too late for that now, so I say polish them, it will hide the terrible masking job you did...

                        Try the red first because if you polish then decide you want red and don't like it you spent too much time polishing in the first place. But if you paint red then want to polish it's not as much extra work. And who knows how it will turn out, might look good.

                          Screw that, go gunmetal! Looks way cooler hahaha I did mine totally by accident and I am greatly pleased with the results.

                            Well I tried Red and it looked craptastic. My wife said it looked like a Michel Jackson Jacket So i just left them as is. They did come out really well, I just need to clean them up a little. Im going to work on the suspension this week before i get some decent wheels. here are a couple of (crappy) pics.

                              Do the whole thing black, or turn the caps back to silver, and put some friggen springs on already.
