Thanks guys, I saw a pic like this and Z's FX fist so well for that kind of shot.

 

[jdTrader]

nice, post a larger photo of it...would like to see it large if possible.

 

[GetLuckiFX]

When Z posts bigger pics I will redo it, I used his original avatar so can't really blow it up without loosing the quality

Here we go. It was a huge PITA project for me.


I have been thinking to change the lip and barrel color, since I don't have any chrome on my car. So I was debating between gold/black and brushed/black scheme, but decided to go with brushed aluminum and black.


First I cleaned and prepped the barrels






Masked everything off





Primed




Painted with Rustoleum Automotive gloss black paint




Wrapping the lip




All done. I didn't like how it came out. It just was a mix of gray colors



Decided to wrap the face in black brushed aluminum






Didn't like the look at all



Way off


Painted the faces with Rustoleum gloss black and satin Dupli-Color clear coat



Looked great at first...



...but I messed up the drying time between coats and and it came out like this





The only way to go was to strip everything off. Here we go(5 days of labor)





getting close





and done



I repainted everything correctly this time, applied the custom Infiniti decals, but didn't take any pictures(I think there are plenty here already. Also got a new set of Muteki Burning Blue lug nuts with locks.


...also installed new Bosch evolution wipers



Polished the windshield with Zaino glass polish




...applied the Aquapel on my windshield




Unprocessed cell phone pictures






And a mini photoshoot after





















mudflaps are gone now and I will probably powder coat the wheel faces next time:good:

 

[RIPnFX]

Wow the wheels look awesome even though they were a PITA, the final outcome came out dope

 

[GetLuckiFX]

Lotta work, but at the end the result is amazing and something to be proud of. Wheels look great and together with the rotors, calipers and lug nuts it's a perfect look.
