    Default The green is gone.

    The green rims are gone, decided to redo them since they were flaking bad from the bad prep job, so i decided to spend more time preping.

    The old green:


    Starting of stripping:






    Completely cleaned up:
    Found out that my rims were painted over before i even had them, didnt look to bad.




    The New color:

    for someone not running silver/bronze/gold/gunmetal/black/white wheels.

    I preferred the green myself, but original none the less.

    Nice that looks wicked.

    I kinda liked the green, but this new color looks really well done.

    no that was my car before it became flat black.

    dunno who in there right mind would paint a car dark purple.
    It is frustratingly reliable, truly the cockroach of automobiles.

    im taking my time w/ this color, because i kind of rushed the green and it started to flake.

    what ive used so far,

    paint stripper and strong ass pressure washer.

    works good.

    i used less paint stripper and a weaker pressure washer.
    Also used a razor blade to remove some too.

    All done:
