I know its the hazy season and everyone is staying indoors, but I cant stand to look at my faded rims!
I had lining which used to be RED in colour, now its becoming PINK (thank you sunlight )! Haze or shine, DIY painting day it is!
So I decided to paint my rims to black. Flat Black ( after being poisoned by my cousin ).
Hardware store I went, and got myself 2 Cans of Anchor paint, Flat Black C29 if I'm not mistaken..
Came back, washed the tires and let it dry. Okay, it took soooooooo long so I wiped it clean and waited a few more minutes to let it dry properly..
It was a spontaneous job, as I didn't really prepare the stuffs needed properly (excited coz I have 2 cans of Flat Black to play with )
So what i used to mask off the tires was some cloth tape i found laying around the house. Old news papers come in handy right now, covered the tires, brakes and springs and spray on!
After about 13-15 coats, or 1 and a half can of spray later, i was quite satisfied with the result..
Sorry if the pics are small
Oh yeah, don't forget your mask, safety first!
If you happen to see a black Saga LMST with Flat Black rims, u know its me :proud:
