A la Charlie Sheen "Winning"... Nicely done!

That is on my "to do list" for this spring, but I am going to go with a gunmetal gray.

Nice work!!! The shop I work at just got a huge paint booth for doing large oil field equipment and I'm think'n about going satin Black with accenting on my rims. If anyone wants to post other pics I'd be interested in seeing what others have done also.

Not a fan of tinted tails nor red caliper paint...Is the paint gloss or satin? Looks good.

cube4da99 03-21-2011 01:48 PM

It looks awesome!!! I was talking about painting my rims with a buddy and once the rocks are off the road, I'm going to paint the whole vehicle also.

Not a fan of black wheels on a black vehicle, besides it's played out. Nothing beats a black vehicle with chrome or hypersilver/bright finish wheels, remember contrast is a good thing.
