preliminary pics of my wheels

i hope you meant the top one lol

pic

they look really good! im impressed :bigok:

the paint is either called cast metal iron or iron metal cast i can’t remember…the lid is a lot darker than the actual color but man does it shine in the sun tho

i tried to put them up against the car but tthe white wheels that are on there make it way too hard to see…

how hard was it to get the original finish off of them?

enough for me to charge 50 bux if anyone were to ask me to do them (per wheel)

how hard was it to get the paint to coat all the surfaces?

anyone who can paint can paint…it’s all in the prep work (which i’m getting better at each wheel)
