Getting Started
The picture above shows the car in its raw state. Overall, this car has really nice styling, but those silver wheels were too understated. Jessica wanted something more aggressive, so she chose to make them satin black (good choice!).
If you read my previous article Paint Your Own Wheels, you know the technique used to make this change. You can learn more about the process used by reading that article.
These wheels are pretty big, with wide open spokes. As such, the brake calipers are pretty noticeable. A lot of high end sports cars have painted calipers, so we decided to go that route. Since most of those cars have red calipers, I recommended something more bold–YELLOW. Jessica quickly agreed (did I say she is also one of my smartest family members?).
Nice job! That looks so sharp and updated.
Very nice!
When I originally left a comment I seem to have clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and
now whenever a comment is added I get four emails with the
same comment. There has to be a way you can remove me from that service?
Thank you!
Yes…I just made the change.
