Colorful wheels yay!

Post by 99PreludeSh »

Since my Sh wheels were just sitting there collecting dust I decided to do something with them....paint them.

Some of you saw them last night but here is the process, and it only took 2 days. Not long at all taking my time.

I personally have never seen this combo done but I think it looks great.


This is what they started out as polished

waoh caps

taped up ready for some primer

My lovely 2 minute tape job

YESSS now we are making progress

After being wet sanded

Is that red I see???

Image

WAIT NOOOO Its gold!

Image

All 4 goldies!
Image

painting
Image

And the final outcome is....




























































Gold with a red lip!

Image

Hand painted H's

on the car, I need to get some better pictures....and yes I know I need to go lower.

Thankyou. Yeah I was so iffy at first then I just thought to myself if I dont like them i will just stay rocking the S2k's and re=paint the Sh's, but they turned out great even with the red lip.

I was thinking the same looking through the progress pics but they look even better once on the car (and that's what matters) and waaaay better than they did stock IMO
04 Subaru WRX Sport Wagon
95 GMC Suburban (Honda hauler)
94 Del Sol vtec (some boost is better than no boost)
91 Chevy S-10 V-8 (toy, soon to be gone though)
87 Honda 250R (as close to a Type R as I will get)
