First SMALL paint project - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

NaughtyDawg63 · 08-03-2011, 09:51 AM

Well, I got some new wheels the other day, and knew immediately I wanted them a different color. So before I even got tires for them or really looked at them much I ran to my buddies freinds paint shop.

I knew exactly the color I wanted which was a nice deep purple with a little bit of flake in it.

Soo....... Dodge Challenger Purple with flake is the color that I got!

I absolutely love the color, perfect hands down.

So, now that the paint was there, me and my friend went ahead and scuffed my BRAND NEW wheels lol, (cheap wheels so no big deal)

After they were all scuffed up we went ahead and primed them, and after that threw on some primer sealer.

So we let them bake in the sun for about an hour or so, (lunch break) and went back down to set up the basement.

Here is our ghetto paint booth lol.

Now that the walls are covered sorta, and the car in there was too, it was time to get down to business.

Heres my buddy all excited to start haha.

And another, (remember this was our first real painting adventure, with a paint gun at least, so we were quite excited lol.)

After all the work and sweat and getting high on the fumes lol. Heres the outcome.

I'm going to be painting the barrels and insides tomorrow. Then they will be getting cleared.

Hope yall like!!

They look amazing! Good job man!

$nicklefritz · 08-03-2011, 10:03 AM

i loath those wheels

Edwin562 · 08-03-2011, 10:05 AM

purple looks dope on battles....

Hanzi · 08-03-2011, 12:26 PM

Just a quick question. When you paint your rims, you only want to spray the top part(spoke) correct? Like you dont want to paint the whole thing? Sorry if this question is stupid. Just curious.

skyline331 · 08-03-2011, 12:35 PM

Does look good!

supramon808 · 08-03-2011, 12:45 PM

looks great bro!

Hanzi- i think he meant painting the inside of the barrrel..the ones not inside the tire..get it? lol

shinobis13hb · 08-03-2011, 12:55 PM

purple drank

aznfab213 · 08-03-2011, 12:55 PM

What size compressor did you use?

dub40sx · 08-03-2011, 01:06 PM

yay for purple, get a tack cloth to get all dust/hair off um before you spray the clear. You won't regret it.

NaughtyDawg63 · 08-03-2011, 01:35 PM

ahhh damn those look good! makes me excited to clear them. and ya i meant ill be painting the inside. not gunna waste the paint on the outside where the tire will be haha. and thanks everyone.

also the compressor was a small craftsman 1hp 3 gallon. we just set the psi to like 55 and went from there.

zylvia213 · 08-03-2011, 02:13 PM

looks pretty decent

Options13 · 08-03-2011, 02:28 PM

when you go to put the tires on, its gonna fuck up some of the paint though

if you mount them from the back its usually fine.

STL240SXDRIFT · 08-03-2011, 09:55 PM

Nice job! Where did you purchase the wheels from...if you don't mind sharing?

doriNIGHTS · 08-03-2011, 10:20 PM

good job wheels look sweet

Om1kron · 08-03-2011, 10:29 PM

wtf is Dom DeLouise doing in a TSX?

eddieflo · 08-03-2011, 11:15 PM

Very nice color. I'd like it for my KA valve cover, whats the code?

DeanGrind · 08-04-2011, 01:10 PM

Nice! My buddy actually painted his hatch that dodge color!

The car is a little bright for me but its a dope color! Looks real good on the wheels though, I think it makes a better accent color than car color

XxHybridx · 08-06-2011, 02:53 PM

very nice! digging that purple. do u happen to know the paint code by any chance?

One_love_silvia · 08-06-2011, 05:15 PM

wouldnt it just be better to powder coat the wheels?..

slowvia · 08-06-2011, 05:37 PM

Im diggin the plumb crazy! But shouldnt you paint the inside first? Thats how Ive always done body panels anyway.

NaughtyDawg63 · 08-09-2011, 12:53 PM

the paint code is PHG. from the dodge challengers

!Zar! · 08-09-2011, 02:57 PM

I wish people would stop painting wheels stupid colors.

dub40sx · 08-09-2011, 07:02 PM

^^^^ Your opinion obviously but its a pretty stupid one.

A. If he prepped them good any GOOD tire shop shouldn't scratch them or they are just complete retards.

B. If a tire shop could mount those upside down I would shit my pants. They would probably get the first bead, but there is no chance in hell the second bead would go and they would probably tear it and then your tire is fucked... Im just saying, works good on REVERSE LIP wheels but not on normal wheels that have a small drop-center twards the face of the wheel.

fckillerbee · 08-09-2011, 07:10 PM

^^^ putting a tire on a wheel that's on a machine any which way is easy. it's taking it off that's the hard part.

Mine makes sense, let a car gain attention by details, not painting some wheels a flashy donk color.

People crack me up buying battles, then attempted to paint them to be different. Rice thread much?

Sorry I don't get down with street cars running stupid ass orange/pink/purple/neon/bagofdickflesh colored wheels.

But hey, by all means paint your wheels the color of a unicorn's shit for all I care.

daproject711 · 08-13-2011, 02:00 PM

Great job on the paint! I was wondering what kind of wheels these are and whats the specs.
