a taste of things to come...

i decided to do something that i havent seen yet on here, not saying that it hasnt been done, but i kinda wanted to see what this would look like and it turned out great! I painted my 18 inch muranos gunmetal gray. so check them out. im getting the tires put on next weekend and i will have some more pics when that is done.

I know how normal muranos look on a 4th gen. I'm curious how the repainted ones will look.

OT from the wheels but I bet you can pull that dent out with a plunger or just hit it out by hand.

looks awesome.

Just be careful with diplicolor paint, i repainted a set of rims.

Primed, used a crap load of paint, a bunch of clear coat and then a lil while later it starter chippin a lil.

But i had other friends who never had problems.

I had very bad luck with Duplicolor clear coat.

Came out VERY cloudy. And yes, I know how to paint.

Good job on yours though

Oh and excellent choice of wheels
