17" Stock Rims never look so good - Mazda 6 Forums : Mazda 6 / Mazda Atenza Forum

snatcher341 · 05-16-2009, 09:49 PM

i didn't want to spend $2k on new rims+tires since i'm a poor college student...So I painted the rims black myself. Took about 10hours of labor in 2days. This also shows the 35% tint side marker that i've been lazy to post up.

Enjoy:

I'm usually not a fan of black rims, but those are really slick. It's got me thinking about the future. Really good job!

I like that quite a bit! Well done! 10 hours of work over 2 days shows that patience and hard work really do pay off!

Easy way to save some money. What type of paint did you use?

Nice rims, I like the way they look as well.

You're a poor student yet you have a brand new 2009 6?

I used spray paint. sand it down then, 1st layer: primer paint. 2nd layer: base black gloss. 3rd: crystal enamel gloss clear coat.

couple of coating for each layer then its pretty much done.

cost me less than $50.

Looks good, nice work.

I really like that stock spoiler too. I hate to spend the money since I only got my 6 2 weeks ago but it really adds a nice look to the car.
