Couldnt decide on new wheels so i got the satin black out on the stock wheels , 2 hours work with scotch brite and masking up. If your after a cheaper alternative you can try this.
Might not be everyones cuppa tea , but if we all like the same things we would all have the same cars,just thought id throw that out there before the bagging starts.    |

Mate, this is what its all about.
in the car game we have a few options we can build our cars by mail order or shopping trolly we can build them out of left over bits or we can take what we have and make it our own (or a combination of all of the above) what you have done here is create your own look, sit back and be proud of your acheavment

if your thinking of doing it just use the 3 mm fine line tape ....the blue one gets around those tight curves alot easier.

Not sure if I like it, Im really not sure. Which is odd, cause either I do or I dont usually.
Certainly a good result though, it looks proffesional.

Very nice mate, as others have said black and yellow look great together and you've certainly done a good job. Which paint did you use?
