I am missing one cap anyways...so Im playing around with it...Im using Krylon Fusion paint on my chrome rims..if I dont like it...I can peel the paint off...or even use paint thinner :)

I like it so far though...I know it wont last...but hell...life is about having fun...if I get hit by a Big Rig 2moro...paint on my rims wont matter anyways..


Im uploading pics now...

1st one is photoshop.... (I know I missed a section)

2nd one is in real life

painting your rotor, is probably not the best idea you've ever had, it's going to burn, and stink, and be slick so your brakes wont work, and probably wreck your brake pads.

no...I masked it off...you can see that in the pics...just click the bar to expand them..then you can also see the clean rotor after the paint :)


puck...I'm not sure really...Goodyear accidentally broke one of my caps because it was so brittle...so I wanted to play around and see what I could do...I'd like to have them powder coated black and red...but I have other things I need to be spending my money on right now =/

free tape..
free black spray paint..


lol...I'll see what else I can do..I know its going to chip off soon anyways though










I know theres a few spots I still have to get..

I'd like to have them powder coated...but I've got some other things I need to be thinking about financially instead...


painted rims...pulling out the dent in my door...painting my driver side fender...all this stuff cost money but it doesnt change anything...its only for looks...so all that stuff can wait for now...

I have to focus on starting college, paying for food...saving money for a house...things like that for now =/

Thats why I had to put a halt to my Dynamat project for now.... =/
