Plasti-Dip is for Suckas!

Just kidding... I sold my wheels this weekend for cash plus stocks. The stocks where in pretty bad shape and had streaks all over them that would not come out, so I decided to paint them a Gunmetal pearl similar to my old F14s. I was pretty happy with the results.

What did you use to spray them? Gun or rattle?

Thanks. Yeah I'm selling my car, so a $20 rattle can paint job is all I was looking for. :P

It actually turned out very well.

In case I don't sell the car, these wheels will just be sitting anyway.

Thanks a lot. They have a color a little lighter than this and probably just a couple shades darker than the stock color. I'm sure that would look good too.

Tomro you can place the jack stands in several places, but I just put them on the inside of the control arms.
