Started repainting the ROHs tonight, started with the worst wheel. This wheel was dismounted recently for a flat repair, so the lip not knicked bad by the newbie at the Goodyear down the road from my house.

Dry sanded with 1000grit paper:

First dust coat:

After two medium coats under teh heat lamp:

Throughout the rest of the month, the other three wheels will be touched up in the same fashion.

Nice. Did you clearcoat them?

Need to paint my wheels as well...

No clearcoat. I used gloss black Rustolium Engine Enamel. It's very durable paint, and very glossy by itself.

Id still suggest using some cleacoat, even so you can have the finish last a bit longer. But thats me lol.

Considering there was 30K put on this paint finish before the season ended, and it was still nice and glossy, I think it'll be fine. Clear won't do much when the outer lip felt like flaking off.

Should look into the plasti-dip thing that people are doing.

Meh, I've helped some of my friends plasti-dip some parts. I don't like how it isn't glossy. If I had more matte painted parts, I'd shoot for the look.

When did you start ricing ur car all green?

Do i need to kick you in the head?

The green's gonna change. The GS stripes will be red, the arrowhead will be black again. And the rolecall on the back window will change a bit.

I don't have the giant Unknown banner anymore.

Good, i didn't want to have to kick you.

Oooooohhh i will kick him... Lol

I'm still the only GAGT with rally-esque mudflaps, and a rolecall on the back window.

:FULL OF WIN !:

I'm getting red pinstriping once the respray is done with the wheels.

Parts update:

2nd gen LED tails

LED 3rd light

Black front arrowhead overlay

Front plate relocate mount (front plate will be offset and plate cover will go back on)

Any plans for more LED lighting?(ie license plate, interior, etc)

Yes.

I want the license plate light in LED. As will the backup lights as well.

After that, interior lights will be replaced with LEDs. I just need to verify what bulb #'s are in the dome light assembly and my mirror/map lights.

Nice!

I'm thinking that interior and backup lights will be next on my list.
