Bored one afternoon after Uni, me and my mate decided my car should start work on my car. Had it for a while now and it was completely stock. started by painting my rims. not a serious job but just as an experiment and they REALLY needed doing.
the state of them (pretty bad i know):  applied nitromoors paint stripper:  forgot to take photos of sanding and priming as i got a little overexcited... yes i have the mind of a child. we used filler primer to make sure there was a nice smooth finish. base coat applied:  nice smooth coat  . the colour is bmw sparkling graphite and its lush  clear coat:  sorry for my bollocks photography. on the car with a little caliper paint applied too:  not bad for a rough job i think. i was also pleased we managed four wheels and calipers in a single afternoon/evening. im also aware my tyres are whack and way too big. getting some tasty 215/55/r15s soon  anyone else got some nice diy rims? |
