maybe when i get wheels i will do it all the same day
Yea that's a good idea. It took me about 7 hours and I did each wheel separately. The work isn't that hard, but it's very time consuming, especially with 10 minute breaks between coats, with 5-6 coats.

thanx. you would not believe this but i found this old bottle of pink liquid. yeah, you know which one i'm talking about, "Liquide Luster" remember that? sh*t that was a long time ago..... about the brakes its just my stock painted with caliper paint with the axxis ultimate pads and r1 concept cd/s rotors.
