Default Wheel Painting?
Has anyone in the local area doen this before?

I am thinkign about doing to my stocks just to see how Gold/Bronze or Black with like 3-4 clear coats would look on teh car. (i.e.. similar to the prodrive color).

I did some research on it and it looks easy enough, but talkign to someone who has done it before would be better.

Thank You in Advance,

- Mike

I did it on my Cobra, came out decent. Theres been quite a few people on here that have done it and came out nicely. Do a search in GCC and there should be pics and instructions of what diff people have done.
