Finally finished painting my wheels

[stefan.bounket]

So after a very long time (2 months) of having my wheels painted white... I finally got off my lazy ass and bought some red touch up paint to do the mitsubishi symbols on the center wheel caps.

I must say.... I think this tiny colour accent makes a HUGE difference in visual appeal. It's sexy...

However, on the downside... don't use a touch up brush... go for the spray. the area to be painted is large enough that you likely won't have a nice even coat if you brush it. also... if you do choose to brush.. beware of the paint dripping off the brush... i thought i got rid of the excess.. but no.. i didnt.. and my front driver side wheel paid the price..

Anyways, here it is..

i hope you sprayed a lot of clear on those white rims before you got them all dirty like that or else its going to peel fast when you try to clean them

and you're right the red definitely adds a nice subtle touch

Looks pretty good! thanks for the tip on the paint I have to get off my lazy ass and finish mine up too.

the white has been on for 2 months now. no problems yet. i did 2 coats of clear.

we'll see how the red lasts since it is a different paint.
