I think you did a really good job painting that wheel!
And the color looks amazing on the vert mesh...
Especially backed against the polished lip!
What would make them even sicker would be to powdercoat or paint
your calipers chrome and get some nice rotors behind em...
But that's just my opinion...

Go for it!

the red fc is upsidedown because I was parting it out and it is down to nothing but a shell and the stuff underneath ( trans, rearend) was easier to get out that way instead of laying under it in the gravel

Thanks Floppy. Those look nice. I was having an 80s flash back and thinking to paint that grey part White like the rest of the car. Get my Ray Bans and my white cotton sports coat, don't shave for three days and plug Don Henly in the CD, go pick up Tubs...........
