vizio93 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 yeah man those rear wheels are huge. and that spoiler will keep that thang on the ground (hopefully ) i was thinkin' i should paint the rims either gold or black. wat do you think?

diymirage Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share Posted August 17, 2009 depends on the body of the car if it stays white i would go with gold rims or better yet, gold rims but with a chrome lip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vizio93 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 yeah i'm gonna keep it white. gold with a chrome lip sounds good. i just gotta find out how i'm gonna tape off the lip to paint the inside gold. there not two-piece so i can't take out the middle and just paint it. mmmmmmmmmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diymirage Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share Posted August 17, 2009 one word (or two denpending on how you look at it) paintbrush alls you need is a brush and a steady hand thats how i added the gold accents to these rims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Red Ranger Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 yeah i'm gonna keep it white. gold with a chrome lip sounds good. i just gotta find out how i'm gonna tape off the lip to paint the inside gold. there not two-piece so i can't take out the middle and just paint it. mmmmmmmmmmmmm Paintbrush would work well if you are steady enough, however I prefer using 1/8th inch tape, or for that rear wheel 1/4 inch tape, then airbrush or even rattle can would work. I've done that on a set of Mustang rims and doing it on my drift car as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Red Ranger Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 So far the extensions are going well. I ended up just using an exacto knife, cut my finger really bad, but it was worth it, but just so you know it wasn't while cutting, I put my exacto knife down wrong and picked up the wrong end so. Anyway I only need to cut a pice of plastic for the front end, then going use some body filler to smooth everything out. Going to get some screen door material for the vent then it will be on to the back end. Hope to have this done by deadline! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the way it's going. Gives me some Ideas too. Not now but one day. That is Very cool vizio93 Mmm, I may just have the slowest car Great pics, Car looks good.

diymirage Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 Mmm, I may just have the slowest car its not about being the fastest its about having the shoddiest tires and going the sidewayest Great pics, Car looks good. I think you need a little silver accent to the wheels or something, can't see the wheel. i totally agree with the wheels i mixed up a batch of paint to match the striping on the side of the body then, when i sprayed it and it dried it looked almost black purple not what i intended i have a bottle of pearl bleu that i got for the vic in building i might give the wheels a do over with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Red Ranger Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Thanks man. I had to use some bondo to smooth it out, so as soon as I get it taken care of ill put pictures of. Im not talented enough to just use plastic. I wonder how so many people are able to cut the little pieces and glue them. much respect.

The Red Ranger Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 this is today's progress. It is very rough, but I will get it finished by tomorrow. Then I am going to get the back done hopefully by the end of the week, so that leaves the weekend to do the other side, it should hopefully go faster seeings how I will have done it once already. My plan is to use a chrome base, then use transparent colors over it. Instead of the Green Yellow and Red I am sticking to Green and Blue. Those are my race team colors.
