My attempt at squirting SS wheels

Post by Skip »

My T wagon wheels were lookin a bit "skanky"

so I broke out the "rattle cans"

and
with the help of some plastic cups and a coffee can lid
for paint masks.

I came up with

currently fitted to my 94 GT


How does one say - - - "Sacrilege" or "Sacre Blu" ??

that sounds like a great deal! I'll make you dinner for your effort. It'll be this spring though, as I'm waiting on another set of wheels/tires from art

After sanding the ruff stuff

I painted the centers and the spoke holes with semi flat black.

Then I "mask" the holes with plastic cups and the centers with a coffee can lid.

Then I painted the wheels with
aluminum silver.

Hope this helps
