so while i was at ecc south last year for autobody i figured i would take my old rims and sand them down and repaint them after how shitty they were starting to look. i ended up leaving the tires on but breaking the bead down. this was because i didnt want to pay to have them taken off the rim and the tire machine that the autobody program had and the tech at the time were both the metal heads on the tire machine. this would have possibly ripped the bead on the tire. instead i bagged the tire and put paper around it and sprayed regular auto paint that me and my teach mixed up. it turned out being the exact color i wanted in which by accedent ended up matching my grill. this color is a silvery-gray with metal flake. let me no what you guys think. only down side is they are 16" rims :gotme:
