I think I'm going to tape off the outer lip and paint the inside black.

DPancoast · 11-29-2008, 04:22 PM

haha I was like WOAH check out that lip! Then I realized it was index cards or whatever haha...

looks good tho man!

Kerplunk105 · 11-29-2008, 04:27 PM

haha. At least it sorta matches the sidemarkers

GeforceXtreme · 11-29-2008, 04:32 PM

I would have never thought of using cards to mask the area off. That is pretty cool.

Eclipse GSX 61 · 11-29-2008, 06:26 PM

That looks like a Flyers car to me. Screw the Devils.

tape is a bitch to do on the roundness and dosent really stick to tires, i found that out the hard way.

SvicksTc · 11-29-2008, 11:35 PM

Guessing you just had an orange can of paint laying around.....

UnderPoweredRS · 11-30-2008, 01:54 PM

The Steelies where all rusty and looked really bad. So I wanted to paint them. But then I wanted something that would stand out. so I went with bright orange.

Tires2theSky · 11-30-2008, 03:05 PM

i like the color i had the same color wheels on a stunt bike of mine..

CHR!S · 11-30-2008, 03:14 PM

nice, now paint some white walls on the tires

Zillon · 11-30-2008, 03:17 PM

Man... what have I started around here with painting steelies.

Looks good though, you should've thrown some clearcoat on them while you were at it.

DPancoast · 11-30-2008, 03:19 PM

^^ haha no one will ever cramp your style for painting steelies man. you just set the top of the ladder! lol

Zillon · 11-30-2008, 03:20 PM

I had some kids give me props at Wawa on 309 the other night, they thought they were powdercoated.

I told them I rattlecanned them, and their jaws dropped.

I didn't know anyone else painted steelies. do you have any pictures of yours? I didn't clear them because the wife was making me keep the cost down. They looked really bad before I painted them though.

JDMTyler3326 · 11-30-2008, 08:55 PM

Looks cool man... It would look sick if u painted the lip black

cyron · 11-30-2008, 09:25 PM

I was thinking about painting the lip on my steelies white...
pseudo white wall... etc... Maybe yellow...

I actually didn't clear mine, but since I used automotive spraypaint, they're semi-gloss.
