just did the biggest failure since owning my fto ... i wish we had a DIY day every weekend
Okay got bored and asked for powder coating prices (ranged from 40bucks - 75bucks a wheel, it sounded good soo i went to the shop) got there and they started b/sing about ... my rims needs to be sandblasted + primed and all this crap and end up with lowest price estimate was 390$ from some small place in padstow nsw.
Well anyway i was pissed off soo i bought some sand papers and 2 black 3$ spray cans
Sprayed my first wheel and it turned out okay ... but dam, i got paint all over my vinyl floor (i used an old bed sheet and it goes through)
2nd wheel i didnt clean the rims much and it dripped the sh*t all over the rims and paint wouldnt stick but used plastic instead, it didnt drip through.
3rd rim ... after what happened on 2nd rim, i thought might as wheel not sanding it and just spray on the paint and it bubbled all over and wouldnt stick aswell
4th rim also a failure i ran out of spray paint and used a paint brush and brushed my rim to disaster
Diffenately putting all mods in mind aside and need some bloody new rims
