Tints for sure and a drop. I figured I would take some heat but it was the first time I painted anything and I learned a few things. I think they look better in person then the pictures showed. I think the flash hurt a bit. ---

To be honest with you I thought the first pic was after you painted them. I think they looked good silver and they probably would have looked good on the car…this is coming for a guy with Black wheels. I would never get Black wheels again. A for effort though. ---

shoulda warmed the cans up a bit first with some hot water. it takes some fooling around to get a spraycan paintjob to look decent. Brian [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/diy-painted-rims/58900.md?page=1)
