yeah the color i did was the duplicolor dark blue, t150 (i think), with like 4 or 5 coats of clear. haha i was going for a mag blue, but it came out a little darker, which is cool.

 

yeah same color i used

 

Nice wheels! All of you!

But, question: How does the paint hold up to washes and normal wear? I don't want to go the powdercoat route. Rattle can is FTW! But after sanding and many coats of paint and clear coat will the paint keep its good looks?

 

If you prep and paint the rims right they should hold up like any other paint. You have to take care of them just like any other painted items

 

u have to stay on it, chips are inevitable from road debris, car washes scratch the lip of the rim. but normal cleaning/washing they hold up fine, jus the car wash rail scratched my lip but i fixed it

 

Nice. Thanks.

Car wash rails.. another reason to continue washing by hand. :-/

 

indeed.

 

I always was mine by hand. Car washes put 2 many scratches into the paint.

 

indeed to that too, not having time or a driveway to wash my car is out of the question (which i hate) living in NYC sux bc of that.

 

i did black more than a year ago and i admit i didnt do a great job but still did a good job and they have helped up til last week when i painted mine again

 

Before I go and ask for a photoshop is there anyone with a Nautica Blue tC with stock wheels painted Gold?

 

yeah theres a few im pretty sure

 

I went through every page and didn't see one.

 

Unless I missed it somewhere...

 

really? hmm ive seen it for sure

 

I saw bronze on NB but not gold.

 

took a few more pics, anyone with a csm i adivse this color, looks gorgeous imo.

 

That does look good.

 

wow that is an awesome color

 

that is pretty nice
