I like that. So it didn't run or have any bad looking spots?

Too bad you don't have the deep dish, that would look hot. And window tint.

There are a couple spots where it seemed to bubble up a little bit, but nothing too noticeable. I guess bottom line is I spent 19 dollars to do it, so I'm not out much.

Thanks for all the compliments.

Looks awesome!! I never would have thought you used a rattle can on those, they look like factory black chrome wheels. Very nice. :beer:

That was pretty funny, never thought of it like that. I guess it almost kinda does.

Looks damn good, I wanted the black chrome SRT-10's for my truck when I bought my wheels but everybody thought they were made of gold or something. Wasn't lookin' to spend what they wanted especially for used wheels. This may end up being a weekend project for me pretty soon.

It looks like you did a good job and didnt spray it too thick. If it doesnt look like black spray paint the you did it right. I'm thinking about doing the same to my racestars.

They look great! Nice find and thanks for sharing.

Did you do all 4 wheels with one kit? My 00R replicas could use this.

I bought a can of Duplicolr Prep Spray when I bought the kit. U just spray it on and wipe it off. It removes any wax, grease, or residue that will cause the paint to not adhere properly.

Thanks for all the positive comments!
