I dont like it... Just make them completely black. High Heat 2000 degree paint 3 coats sand in between and hit it with a clear.
Maybe they would look better in person instead of pictures. But in the pictures it looks like a splotchy paint job. I like the overall goal tho. |

ha yeah pictures don't give it much justice.... but i think the reason they look like that in the pictures are since they were realllllllllllllly shiny chrome rims and i used a black chrome finish on them they're still really shiny/glossy but dark at the same time.. i just didn't like them when they were bright silver/chrome.
not my style... and i would go completely black but this shade goes better with my black chrome projectors, turns, and tails! (: -------------------- NOVAKx17

I DO have projectors... but unfortunately all of what i'm talking about is for my eclipse, as to why its in off topic
 hahah. but i'm hopin it'll be ready for the meet, if not i'm going to have to bring the eclipseeee. blah. although at least i'll be able to keep up with everyone and be faster than the non swapped celicas haha. but oh well. anyways, should be done on time hopefully.. i'm only working 4 days a week again so that gives me a total of hopefully 9 days to get the celica road worthy... the question is... CAN I DO IT???? (: -------------------- NOVAKx17
