My Rex Blog 1.3 (Rims Repaint)

hi there...lama dh rasanya tak blog,busy body sket skarang menjaga body.so here is a bit of what i've been doing lately.....

last month got my rims for resprayed.its looked awful before (if u knew).too much scratch,pitted,torn and wore paint....duhhh.i've been planning for this about....maybe a very very very long time ago,but i really dont have much time to spend on it,so the saga continue.....until further notice....maybe until somebody come and kick my rims in front of me..try me then....

this is the before pics


got my equip ready.for the project im using nippon pylox spray can since the product work well even in industrial condition and won't crack under extreme sunlight (other product may differ due to procedure taken...some will not fail too,if the process is right)



the product

first process,scaling the old paint.since it was flaking and i think its easier to just use scrapper rather than sand paper.sand paper gonna take much more time and effort to perform and i couldn't afford that. that gonna be the last process....



watch me performing my job vigorously...and the black paint is gone!!!



small part that is quite annoying,the small lips....

after all the paint removed,the rims will be sand papered starting at 500 grit until 1000 grit. actually its easy if you're using paint remover acid but i don't prefer it since im not taking off my rubber.if u want to do this on the rim only,then the paint remover will be much much more easy work.please be careful.....



after some prep and first thin coat...flat black...but its shiny!!!!



close up

while i left the thing outside under shadowed sun,there was a bit rain called 'gerimis' (hahahhaha,i forgot the word,damn!!!!!) and it affect the small part of the process......





small spot of rain drop....i try my best to suck it clean then,but the trace was still there,until it was fully dry,the spot is spotless!!nasib baik.....

so the final result is like this...tadaaaaaa!!!!shoot...!!!!





for now i only manage to do the front pair only,wait till i have enough time to repaint the back pair also.right now it doesn't look so good,feel like im wearing 'rim kahwin'.....hahahahah.nevermind,i'll be getting new rim after all,waiting for cheap spoon 16" sw888 for sale....it's on my wishlist...then...dunno.i don't wanna list all down here.....finish for now.please comment.thank you.
