Market: Year: 97 Model: ST Frame & Type(optional): ST20 Engine: factory 7A-FE transmission: unsure So this is my first project and my first time painting. What i wanted to do was to give my rims a little white paint, and i used Plasti Dip to do this as I have never painted before. I will also post two pictures from the top i swapped.  Got a used and dirty top.   After cleaning. I don't have anymore pictures of this. I'm sorry.    Started to paint the wheels and decided I wanted to take the wheel off the car. I'm sorry about dark pictures.  Got it off and startet my first time ever layer of paint.   Got it on the car, I think it look good.       Did the 3 last wheels while they were on the car!   All done! Pretty happy whit this, but since it is my first time and my first mod i'm wondering what you think about it. --------------------  ------------------------------| White '97 Celica | Bought 01/11/13 | Sold: Never |------------------------------ |

The issue is that the barrel didn't get properly coated, but the brake components did. And really, the wheels should be sanded first. Welcome anyway.

It was coated with white plastic, so its kinda hard to se on the pics i think, and on some of the pics that plastic isnt removed yet. Yhea, I know, but I didt have the time. Maybe something to think about if i'm going to do something about the summer rims! Thanks for the tips guys.
