BoostedAce Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 I do not enjoy sanding and painting after this, here they are. Im trying to give the Ef a clean non-riced look so I went with some 15in Gsr blades. -Sanded to bare metal- http://i1014.photobucket.com/albums/af262/Boosted_ace/Gsr4.jpg -Primed- http://i1014.photobucket.com/albums/af262/Boosted_ace/Gsr5.jpg -Finished- http://i1014.photobucket.com/albums/af262/Boosted_ace/Gsr6.jpg http://i1014.photobucket.com/albums/af262/Boosted_ace/Gsr1.jpg http://i1014.photobucket.com/albums/af262/Boosted_ace/Gsr2.jpg http://i1014.photobucket.com/albums/af262/Boosted_ace/Gsr3.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAWDAD Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 not like my opinion matters. Rims look great, just not on that color of car. Now go paint the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturg1647545502 Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 I just plucked a set of wheels up.from rice paddy for my motard project and they need painted. I'll probably get them power coated just for durability sake, but how Much time went into sanding? I feel like id be worth it to have who ever powdercoats them to do the prep too.

WrxRcr Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Funny how peeps r so afraid of the ricer look that they will just try and use all oem stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 I had an '89 Civic Hatchback like your car. It was one of the best cars I've ever owned and I miss it alot. Many happy miles to you! To be honest, I don't like the gold body paint. But, the car looks clean! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dread life anytime I have to do it. Which regretably is a lot. Shoot me a PM if you'd like a quote.Looks good Aaron. I kinda like it against the odd ball gold paint. But thats the into VW stretchandpokedrownkittycatsintheriverthenchokeababyinthepark in me. That shade Gray as well as a decent Bronze is a bit of a Unicorn to find in powder.

BoostedAce Posted April 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Thanks, I probably sanded a good 5 hours. I ended up painting the inside of the wheel along with the bead and clear coated it. I planed on painting the car but a few thing I would like to finish on it before I do.

Sturg1647545502 Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 fuck, 5hrs? There has to be a less labor intensive way of doing that. What about a big sand blasting cabinate? Ill def. keep you in mind patterson once tehy are built! Power coat is a definite, its just how i get there is up in the air Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsewise it'll tear up the substrate pretty good. A chemical strip (super messy) then blast as a final works best but even really cranking on them is 3-4 hours minimum. And if its a rough casting there is time to knock that down or it'll show through the powder badly. It could be my fear of turning out ugly stuff or I'm a glutton for punishment but I wet sand everything like its going out of style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoostedAce Posted April 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Yup, got del sol seats for it, Mine wheels came painted and they chipped so I had to make it even so I just sanded it down to bare metal so it looks decent. It might not take you as long but i'm OCD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
