Hey all,Yeah, i'm still alive.. Unemployment is killin me, but i'm still kickin... Did some Duplicolor Graphite on the stockers.. Whatcha think?

[bodhi_tree777]

nice. Did you prime them first or prep them at all? I want to do the same thing, and you've got the same bubbling going on with yours.. did you send them down, or just spray as is?

[Sublimewind]

Thanks..!! If it weren't for the wheel gap, it's look pretty sweet.. I took off as much of the bubbling I could with a heavy wire brush, then scuffed them good with some red Scotch Brite.. Then a good wipe down with Acetone and paint, no priming, this paint doesn't require it AND it makes it LESS durable.. The Duplicolor wheel paint is REALLY strong.. Had it on my OLD Subaru for years and I was always trying to knock the paint off, on the back roads.. lol.

lookin good. Did you put any kind of clear on it? Or does that particular duplicolor not require it?

[Mariachi]

i like it! nice choice of color!

[DoubleBaril]

I will be doing similar on mine with the same kind of paint, but will be doing them in white.Will attempt it this summer sometime when I have more time for it.

Back from the dead... good to see you around again!I am diggin' those wheels, great color choice.

It looks great!

Thanks everyone... Clear coat, you can get it, and I have some of it (Duplicolor wheel clear) but these things don't look THAT great up close, so I didn't bother.. I figure the stock paint is going to continue to bubble under the stock paint/clear anyway.. So I'm going to have to touch them up from time to time.. So no, I didn't bother..
