I recently picked up a bumper from a forum member that I have been prepping and painting. I've never done any real paint work before but I picked up an HVLP gun and got some PPG primer/paint in brilliant black mixed up for the job. While I was spraying the bumper, I decided to refinish my track wheels which were looking pretty beat up. After 7 hours of wirebrushing and sanding the accumulated brake dust and nasty off the wheels, I cleaned/degreased/masked and sprayed them (1 primer, 2 color coats). Because of all the angles it was really hard to get good coverage but I'm pretty happy with how they turned out. The wheels are Forgeline, came free with the car when I bought it, and originally had a polished finished but lately was just nasty/chunky looking. Here's how they came out:

 

Nice work! Looks very good with the polished lip.

Very Sexy!

 

just get the car about an inch or so lower and you're set.

 

Thanks! Yea, it's still riding on bone stock suspension which I do need to upgrade for the track one of these days.

 

very nice.

by the way, i just got back from covered bridge rally: not as much fun as last years. are you doing John Buffums winter challenge rally?

 

I didn't make it this year, just too far to drive round trip and I can't take any time off to get there and back because I just started a new job a few weeks ago. I was thinking about running PBX but none of my friends are into going so I probably won't be doing any TSDs at all this year. Ran the last RallyX of the season yesterday here in D.C. though on a nice 1.2 mile course though

 

Those look REALLY nice on your car!

 

looks really clean!

 

Wow, those turned out great!

 

Excellent outcome.

 

looks good
