Sup everyone.... hmm how do i start lol
well i got my wheels and calipers painted, also got my rotors installed so i would like to share the pics i took during the process with my MCF buds
keep in mind, i know little to nothing about painting things :p haha
I really like the way it looks now let me know what u guys think

This was how my monte looked like before i started, had just washed it so it was somewhat clean :p

Up on stands with the wheels off for cleaning

ready for a good wash, wheels aren't in the best shape, so that's why i decide to paint them

AHHH nice and clean

masked off and ready for primer

I used filler primer because of the imperfections the wheels had, didnt really sand em down or prepped them much because im pretty sure i wont have the wheels for long lol

After 3 light coats of paint, oh and i used GRAPHITE (color) for the paint, didnt clear coat them because i didnt want too much of the glossy look :p

 

then fed-ex delivered these, ahhhh sexy

while the wheels were drying i decided to replace my worn hub, it was getting really annoying hearing that whirring sound everytime i drove monte lol
new hub

Caliper Brackets removed and painted, i used VHT's Caliper paint

masked the car up some and got the calipers painted as well

 

The following day.... Got the rotors and calipers assembled back together and i have to say, geez they look great!!!
no where near perfect but great


They look just right with the SS emblems

cleaned lug nut covers and ready for paint
(I WANT TO THANK JERRY FOR HELPING ME OUT WITH THE MISSING LUG NUT COVERS)

Used Gloss black for these


The final results





AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, MY NEW WALLPAPER!!!

 

Looks like you did a great job!

 

I kind of wish you didn't paint the rims, but great job

 

thanks, i, also getting some overlays done for the center caps, will have a red chevy logo in the center

haha thanks mike, i liked them the way there but they were really not in the best shape, all of the clear was peeling off and what-not

 

very nice preparation work and finished product looks very well done.....

 

that looks great

 

thanks chris
im pretty sure i could've done better but nahhh didnt have the time :p

 

thanks man! im really happy with the way they turned out
