horrible chopping by yours truly

[jbaker1121]

hey check my aweful chop skills.

but this is kinda what im going for...if you can tell by the chop




thats if my black chrome idea goes through...if not i might black gloss the stockers....

like this kida i guess....


i told you im not that good...i used ot be awesome at it though lol

 

[StuLax18]

that's not a bad job. better than what i could do. i may paint my rims black too, since i got a bit of a scratch on them.

 

[Frankiago]

I'm going from gunmetal on my stockers to gloss black... soon hopefully.

 

[jbaker1121]

thats what i wantt o do since the black chrome is lookin pricey. maybe ill wait till you do it to see ho wit looks lol

 

[Frankiago]

I don't know if I want to black out the emblem on the center caps as well... I kinda like the contrast but I'm moving towards a no-chrome look...

 

[jbaker1121]

well iw as to lazy to not blakc that. but my idea is to have the rims blakc chrome or gloss black with the emblem regular chrome, then have the samer look on my grille. it all depends what im doing though. since the black chrome is uber pricey, i might go with gloss black

 

[jbaker1121]

someone want to try and make my rims look gloss black with the emblem being chrome? thnx!

Nice pix ash! Great job.
I think thats the first time I've seen them clean.

 

[asherchy]

without caps

 

[theMerchant]

do you like the look w/o caps? then i think the lugs should be black also. Great looking stocks. Was it painted w/ can and tire off? or ?

 

[StuLax18]

man i really wanna do this now. lets do it jbaker!

 

[asherchy]

i like it with caps on.... rims were painted with rustleum cans... tires on... masked off with playing cards

 

[StuLax18]

masked off with playing cards? care to explain, i cant quite visualize it :wub:

 

[asherchy]

why does this always happen to you j...
thread jack in process

take a normal deck of playing cards... insert them between the rim and the tire vertically... they dont go very deep but they sit well enough to do 6coats of spraypaint... will not work on a windy day

we now return to jbakers regularly scheduled thread

Ash, that looks so good & mean. Still looking for you out there. Someday, hopefully.

 

[jbaker1121]

those look f-ing awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i so want tthat. but should i go semi-gloss or full gloss? hmmmmm cuz that guys selling full gloss for 550..... :err:


p.s. my threads always get jacked

 

[asherchy]

550 is a fair price... they look shiny as heck and it would give you summer/winter wheels.... plus painting chrome can be difficult (so i was just told)
my vote is on gloss... and gloss black grill with a belt buckle

 

[jbaker1121]

yeah i like the belts. but parents being annoying asaying im wasting money

>:o ill buy them in secret lol

Nice satin black wheels. i thought about doing that as well, i like the blacked out look but i was gonna powder coat mine, only problems is cant bake the plastic center caps so rattle can would have to match exact or look hookie. but the capless black wheels look more ricky racer. of course cant do the wheels without the grill, door handles, powder coated exhaust tips??? hmmm
