new black s-lite thread, repainting them

painted the back rims, one came out perfect, the other came out a little splotchy, but they will be getting wetsanded and cleared so its all good





sanded down one of the front rims to be redone.

this was one of the front rims (that im redoing) so i decided to mess with the clear and wetsand it and see if i could get it to shine with no orange peel. i got a piece of it looking pretty good, cant really tell in the pics though.

Post an after picture when done. with close ups.

Get a nice clear coat to protect the paint

Be careful when mounting new tires someday.

maybe get some touch up paint for the future.

Centercaps in black with MINI in red!
