My air brush job...

ok soo if i can get the pics up i will show a before and after. i took a step by step thing so i could share with the people how to do it. but im to lazzy to post them all.. they came out WAY better then they look in the pic but here is an idea. i took my Scratched to hell Stock OZ- rims. Sanded down and airbrushed them gunmetal ( 1 quart gunmetal mix from bodyshop ) and about 7 hours or painting.

Enjoy and let me know what u think.. ill have a fulll car pic up soon. it has held up for little more then a week now and not a chip or anything.

50grit Sanpaper. ( only Scratched and curbed parts ) didnt sand them down all the way cause i didnt wanna have to sand down and even out the whole rim. and only painted the Vis area what u see in the pic.

was more work then it looks but god it was worth it. i plan on getting a sEt of Stock OZ-wheels and doing white so i can Switch off and on colors. if any of u want me to do it for u just supply money for paint $30 depending on color and ill do the rest.

ill have whole car pic soon as i get one taken.
