That looks very nice. I've always liked the gray color family on wheels. From the pics, it looks like the paint is smooth without any lumpiness. Did you do anything specific to get the paint to level out? And how long did you wait between coats?

Also, anyone have a similar setup on a Silverstone AP2 with pictures handy? I looked through the gallery and didn't see anything.

Thanks!

Sorry I don't like it. Your car looks worse than stock IMO and appears to be a hardcore 4x4 machine at this point.

sorry do not have any pictures of this color of wheels on white. although i would think it would look great. if someone can photoshop they can go ahead and use my pictures.

i waited about 10 minutes between coats and 15 minutes when the sun started to go down (to make up for the humidity)

its not as smooth as can be. sort of a matte finish. if i used super fine grit sand paper (400+?) and wet sanded it i think it would get smoother. but im happy now.

**updated with too many photos haha**

Black wheels in general look smaller than the exact same size silver wheels. It's the nature of the color black.

Op, props on a nice job!!

thanks for the compliments again guys.

i got the red H vinyls from a local decal maker.

he was the cheapest and did a good job.

got like 16 H's for 10 bucks and he threw in some other decals i asked for for free. (instead of 5 bucks a H)

dont know how the lug nuts gonna hold up since the paints would come off every time you take those wheels off.. but than again we cant rotate so you would just respray them every time u get wheels lol
