Just thought I'd post this here, I painted my rims on wednesday at my friends house and they came out pretty good I think, I'm happy with the color, just not with the masking job I did ( I did more than just those few lines of masking tape)
Once i put on some tire shine, it looked 3x better too, then today in school i polished it, even with my crappy paint, it looked even better. Also, there arent any centercaps because the paint started to lift off of them, so now im filling stripping the paint off completely and contemplating wether to just paint them or fill in the mazda logo.
I was just touching up in that first pic we made a cardboard cutout we put over the tire that was a bit bigger than the rim itself, hence the need for the tape. I'm getting new tires before I go to school too, so I'll just paint the rim with no tire again in a few months.
It all made me realize how much i need to keep saving for new struts and lowering springs...but all in time, right? i'm gonna post the pics i have of my car in the photo forums now too, so check that out too.
