I like your style! Looks sharp! What did you paint them with? I just masked off mine with tape and used Rustoleum Laquer and clear, although I did my centercaps too.

I did the same thing Ray did. Only taped off the rim, painted the rest black, threw on some clear. Mine ended up coming out more gray/gunmetal though.

That looks great though, Nice work! :wink:

i painted them with a rattle can and thats it. sanded them down a bit to get the clear off and spray painted them. I covered them with painters take around the rim and hub cap and put a cup over the hub cap with like a plastic sheeting and painted.

Thanks for the props Wake...lol.


Yeah, mine ended up high as well, 40,000+ it's just starting to sit down a bit, I also lowered the pressure in the rear (being FE2 converted) to 15psi to make it sit a bit more. Did you do springs as well or no? I did everything and figured that would be factoring in why it's so high.
