who said panting yourself wheels is a bad idea?

[Zic]

and the fact that i sold them for $1300 should say enough. get real my ass idiot.

i can sell a rock that is painted gold, to some idiot for loads of money.
Does not mean that the rock is sooo mofo awesome, and i am for painting it gold.
It only shows some dumb person, bought something he thought was real gold.

for the record i do insurance paintwork and custom paint (did this last week for just one example)


you can disagree with my opinion all you like, after all its only MY opinion, but to say i dont know what im talking about is a big error on your part. un-catalyzed paint can spray fine for sure, but it doesnt have the solids to provide long lasting protection needed against UV and chemicals. for the SAME amount of time spent you could have sprayed them with good clearcoat. thats just a fact. true you wold need a compressor and a cheap ($20 at harbor frieght) gun, but its pretty easy. oh well you sold them anyway so they are someone else's problem now

i have a compressor and a gun, im not disagreeing that this wont last years like catalyzed paint will, but i had the paint and clear coat already in my work shop so i used it to the best of its ability by doing the right prep work so itll look the best it can. but oh well they looked great while i had them, i have powder coated wheels now so rattle canning is the least of my worries now lol

Yup.

"I've had eleventy billion sets of Rotas! I'm such a wheel whore!"

Nope, just a cheap whore. Same with owning a few sets over a period of time. It just doesn't count.
