Rims Refinished

So, after much debating, I decided to go ahead and refinished my rims with a light silver, I think its a bit lighter than factory, I like it!

I also painted my center cap to the way I like it

So here is a teaser





I will also offer wheel refinishing.

25 a wheels plus shipping and cost of materials.

all in all I am VERY please with this

I did not want to polish them, I thought that the silver looks better. But that is just my opinion

Can you really polish Phone dials?

I mean a have a pair that is showing some fade, yellowing, and was thinking about painting them this color as well.

I think this paint job looks good! I like it.

you can polish phone dials, it's a lot of work though.
