Ever thought about a gloss black, instead of flat?

ya i was thinking to do gloss
i went to canadian tire to pick up the paint
they had special paint for rims only the flat black & the bronze caught my eye
they didnt have much to chose from so i jus kinda had to go with that black
the red that i have is the one i used to paint my wiper blades so im going to try and do the outline with that red see how it turns out

You can suspend a wheel, spin it, and lightly put a brush with red paint on it, holding it still, and letting the spinning wheel make a perfect ring. You can anchor your arm on the wheel well.

If you wanted to do the red outline, why didn't you?
It's not that hard bro.

lol thnx tmac! window tint i'll be doing sometime in the beginning of next summer

and smooth, i didnt even attempt because what i did was i painted the wheels black and then i was going to do the red outline
i think what i should have done iss do the red outline first, let it dry, tape around the red outline, then paint then inside black.
so what im going to do is probably do it next summer because im too lazy to do it now lol or maybe next winter

I also picked up some clear front & side markers from Jeff yesterday
pics ill put up 2morrow !

The wheels look sweet! I can also be lazy, so here is a lazy idea. Get fine line red pin strip from an auto body supply place and cheat by using the wheel lip as a guide. The guy I bought my MX-3 off of is supposed to drop off the wheels (same as yours). I am going to paint them black and put them on my daily driver 323.
