Kind of reminds me of NCSU_Max's. His started out that Pebble Beige, and moved onto Obsidian Pearl.

Can't wait to see the finished product!

They are Kosei Sport Edition 17s.

I'll be sure to post some pics when I finally get it painted. I'm doing all the prep work myself. Its taking longer than I expected. Costing more too...

kk i'll take some more tomorrow. i'm re-primering tomorrow and once i get that all wet sanded i'll start painting. i'm rolling the paint on with high-density mini rollers. its cool but it leaves a lot of texturing on the paint.

i would definitely stop what you are doing and have it sprayed. having a car primered is about the least exspensive part of painting a car, and has a huge impact on the result. you might see it as saving money now but, when your finish comes out bad and you have to redo it, it will cost you.
