I think you type amazingly fluently for a second language- even better than some (read: most) of us Americans/Canadians/U.K. blokes.


btw, LOVE the spray job you did, thanks for taking time and doing things the RIGHT way.


edit:don't get mad if I missed your country lol

if you use rattle can you ARE half-assing. get real dude rattlecan is shit for anything that is exposed to sunlight/weather. their "clearcoat" isnt really going to help you much either, its non-catalyzed. if you want to say you did it the right way you have to use quality materials and not be lazy.

for the record i do custom paint for a living you can check my other posts/blog for work i have done, im not talking out of my ass.

I don't think anyone is debating the fact that a proper paint job or powder coat is going to be superior to the rattle can. For what he had, the wheels turned out great. Definitely one of the better examples that I've seen. Anyways, he's moved on to a new set of wheels, which are powder coated.

umm okay your an idiot. i dont care how much custom work you claim you did, these wheels looked like they came from the factory this way. the pictures do it no justice so you have no reason to talk shit other than the fact that you have nothing better to do. the paint on these wheels will last a long time for the guy who bought them from me. your a jackass. they were NOT half assed, i sanded them down to the bare metal, gave it 3 coats of primer, i then wet sanded the primer to get it smooth at as can be, i gave it 5 coats of paint and then 4 coats of clear. you have no idea how good these wheels look or what your talking about. these wheels look remarkable for a rattle can paint job. "get real dude" jackass.

and the fact that i sold them for $1300 should say enough. get real my ass idiot.

great post OP i just wanted to add i just wanted to say that if you guys are looking for good paint and i mean the best rattle can paint you could buy, you should be looking at writing paint for graffiti.

*both montana
*ironlak
*belton

to name a few. think of a color. you got it if you go with this shit.

i also like using orange or pink caps to cover a wheel in a couple strokes. don't use stock caps to paint wheels it fucking sucks!~



if anybody has a question about graff paint or something related just pm ill point you in the right direction =D
