Des Posted January 1, 2008 Author Report Posted January 1, 2008 Other than that is it good to drive? It likes to go for the ruts in the road so i think it needs a proper wheel alignment. Quote

Des Posted January 1, 2008 Author Report Posted January 1, 2008 I found this pic on twincam.org of a 20v ae93 sx seca and it has the same rims as my ae82, His are white and look shite loads better. So i was thinking of painting mine. What needs to be done to paint rims and for it to last ? Quote
ae174agze Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 i guess same as car paint sand back a few coats of primer sand back, then ur white paint a few coats and sand back and clear coat i guess Quote
Rolla__Boy Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 I always use engine paint as a base coat...then cheap supercheap $2 paint on top....they last good Quote
Medicine_Man Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 rub it back with some 1000 grit, etch prime it, rub it back again then prepwash it and paint them.. Quote
Rolla__Boy Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 rub it back with some 1000 grit, etch prime it, rub it back again then prepwash it and paint them.. That's WAY too much trouble :yes: I painted my white wheels as I bought them...I washed them quickly and painted them...the paint never comes off. Quote
Medicine_Man Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 He did ask what is needed to be done for it to last.. Quote
Rolla__Boy Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 Well the paint is still on my original white TRX rims, and I painted them about 3 years ago Quote
