the duplicolor wheel paint. Sanded em, primed em, then sanded again, then paint, paint, and last but least, clearcoat. They turned out better than i thought. I'm still working on the paint along the bottom of the truck, if you notice the bottom of the back door is shiny and the rest of the truck is flat along the bottom.. work in progress...

That ain't a bad idea. I was considering doing the same thing. Thanks for the pics. I now know it will look really good!

You should do a write up.

Looks nice!

Haha actually no i didn't realize those glitches at all lol! I do the same thing, you think just because you notice something everyone else will too, but most of the times, the average eye doesn't pick up on things like that unless they see it EVERYDAY like the person who drives it haha

MIDNIGHT, are you nuts?! You aren't planning to paint those rims on your truck now are you, or do you mean an older set of rims? I dont think it'd look good on those two trucks though, they are like high class street trucks right there, those things NEED the nice shiny rims lol

Looks good. What % tint is that on the front windows? I like it. Is back factory tint or did you have those tinted too?
