Yup, that settles it, you are doing the hard to paint/stuff I don't want to paint, you are AMAZING.

Maybe this summer I'll save up enough $$$ to head to ATL w/ a car full of stuff.

If you could send me pics of the damage. If it's cracked most likely I would have to add resin. If it's faded I can re-clear em.

Just let me know!

Flava_24/7 - Sounds good I can do any shade for ya.

Which rims?

The multi color ones or the black ones?

I use Dupont products most of the time

the multi-color changing ones are a custom mix though lol.

Thanks j23a45m9

I just took in these S2000 wheels from an IA member to be painted this week. These are not JUST before and after pics. They are progress pics also documenting my work. Hopefully you guys like it!

He wanted to have them painted Volk Magnesium Blue. I have to say these wheels have been turned from stock to absolutely SEXI!

Before: - Nice and clean, time for prep and onto primer...
