These were just done up with a fine bristle brush....Rustoleum Aluminum, do up the splash guards while your at it....The Silver or Aluminum covers in 1 coat real sweet...Your Blue may require 2 or more...
The stuff last like crazy...i use Armorall and wipe em down when I do the tires..re-paint maybe once a year...
 
that looks so sweet and it's different. i think i have a small project for mine. mine are painted all red, and i used the hi heat from auto zone, can i use that one since i have a can at home or stick to rustoleum aluminum. and the good news is that my car is red with silver 99 cobra wheels so your combo will go perfect for me too. sorry if i'm gonna copy you but you're several miles away so it won't matter, right????

thats what im talkin about! should i use high temp paint?
 
These were painted like 4 yrs ago...never a problem unless I chipped em myself...Use hi-temp if you got it but this will hold up just fine to...
scuff the rust...wipe em down and lay the paint to em...
I prefer not to use spray cans just for the o/spray...just my choice...

they say that copying someone is the best compliment you can give them. they do look great. :hail2: i have a few weeks while my family is out of town and i was planning on doing something with my breaks. i may do something like that as well. :nice:
 
Its really a nice little detail you can do...for under 10.00 to boot... :nice:

I have all kinds of people say stuff about em...They get all ga-ga when they see those colors....you'd be surprised how many people think your running some hi-tech set-up...Go figure...I just like detailing stuff...I treat my car like its a big model... :D
 
I just saw andy this past saturday and the pics dont do it justice,the car just looks awesome. Hard to belive the diffrence in his paint job compared to mine w/ his being brand new and mine being 9 yrs old. Hopefully if the funds are there mine will have a brand new paint job next yr as well. I told Andy what I want to do w/ it as far as body parts and color, should look killer if it ever gets done. I really like his rims too, those Drive R's are diffrent but really nice, I love dish in the rear's :nice:
