I wouldnt call it lazyness man,that sounds kinda harh bro.I mean I was already taking the wheels off to paint em so if i would have had a place to do all the work with a hose i would have just takin them off and did them one by one.


i dont have a garage or a hose so i just used caution and did em at the carwash. I didnt really think it was a big deal i mean you spray the stuff on wait a little bit and rise it off.. I painted my si wheels in an empty school parking lot and i did these in a local parking garage.The security guard is super chill and said as long as i clean up after myself i can hangout and work on my car as long as i want. :headbang:


I moved down here from ohio about 2 1/2 months ago on an airplane,i have my clothes and some personal stuff here but since i moved here on a plane i couldnt bring everything i own.
as crazy as it sounds this started out as a visit,and now i live here.

So far i have met a few people through this site but not anyone i would wanna bug just for a spot to paint my wheels.Its a messy job anyway. Well stripping the wheels is kinda messy,if i had a truck and some wheels to throw on the car while i was working on these i would have driven these down off the car in a hartbeat because it would have been easier but i dont so i didnt.

Just imagine going on vacation,and never going back home. Its a long story but in a nutshell welcome to my life :icon_rr:

look at this way bro... we've chatted before and you know i have nothing against you or anything like that... this was just some constructive criticism..

if you did not have the tools, space, time, etc, etc...
you could have simply waited and did it another time... you know Matt prolly would have helped you with this, i prolly would have if you asked...

the bad thing about doing it the way you did is this, and it just my opinion, everyone has there own...

aircraft remover is great for removing paint i think we all know that...
it is not good for rotors, brake pads, tires, rubber brake lines, valve stems, or the paint on the body of your car... again, i don't know 100% that it will cause the rubber to harden then fail but why take a chance with it... your lil project could potentially cost you a fortune to repair...

First off,let me just say:i hate people that spray paint there cars. That said,i fell into the spray paint lure today and i can officially say my cars about 1/4 spray painted. It was only my front bumper and i re-did that damn blue fender...Gave her a facelift,and re-did my wheels as i wasnt happy with how i taped off the lips(my tape line was fuzzy) I also re-polished the lips. overall not a bad day,did alot of work=)

For spray paint it really isnt tooo bad..not too good but at least my crx looks like its supposed to now.This is only temperary untill im ready to have the whole car re-sprayed.

I also bought a new jack today after my factory one finally said enough is enough:( anyway flame me if you will,im ready for the worst of it. I would be the first to deliver the shipment of failboat but i is too tired.

better pics in the morning but till then:

Spray paint looks like shit most of the time. That isn't the case here.
