Painted the c5's

[lilchubby]

Finally got around to getting the wheels painted. they only thing they lack right now is the clear coat, which should come sometime this week. they turned out even better then i was expecting. the taping off for the red stripe was a *****, but i liked the outcome.

they started silver, which wouldn't go with my car at all. First step was Black Duplicolor Wheel Paint:



Then after a couple hours tapeing the red stripe was added:






Now all that is need is some clear, some 275/35/18's in the rear, and some 245/45/17's up front

Going on this car by the way:

I'm not a fan of black with red or the chome lip rims or the mismatched rims for tire rotation but they will look better than the rims you have on there now, so nice job. I like chrome on most cars.

Same size as mine. Great paintjob but I like the all black look far more. But I'm kinda partial to polished rims anyhoo.

Yea to each their own. I just wanted something to break up all the black (wheel and tire) and since their is nothing polished on the car, this seemed like the best option.

I think the C5's will look better. Can't wait to see them on the car.

Looks nice, really nice.

If it were me though I'd pay the couple bucks extra now to get a body shop to spray a quality-hardener clear coat on these. The rattlecan clearcoat won't last long, and it would be a shame after all this work...

On the one that I posted, yeah. Its a pretty sick car. The guy put Yenko decals on it too though, which I'm not a fan of. To each his own.
