Sorry no pic's of the process. Its pretty straight forward. Dupli-Color dark grey wheel coating, Krylon BBQ paint in flat black, scotch-brite pads, and masking tape. The BBQ paint is for the inside of the wheels. It can take the heat from the brakes. Scuff, mask, spray, bada-bing... A whole new look!
Notice the chrome VE lug nut covers from Paul in AU.
Also notice the V6 taillights. I'm not big on the "boy-racer" clear lenses way.

When I read the post I though "man that is going to be some kind of ugly" then when I saw the pix I thought it looked really go, so much that I would do the same if I had that color.

I resisted reading this post because I thought it would be a train wreck of a paint job. I must admit, I was completely wrong. Good job!

Those were my thoughts when I read the title, but I'd say he deserves a beer for that job!
