Did Anybody paint their stocker?

[puijai]

My p5 is white and I'm looking to paint my stock wheels black or bronze.

Can somebody post pics with painted stockers?

thank you so much

No pics, but I imagine it'd look pretty good if they're the 03 wheels.

I've got pics of my stockers painted white if you're interested in them. Search for aMaff on photobucket.com, and go to my P5 folder there should be a couple in there. I'd link you, but photobucket's blocked @ work

Yes. You ready? Here goes:

Go to Circuit City. Ask for iPod nano covers. Pick one up. Slip it over your knob (boom07)

Wait...So stock didn't come in that color? I have that exact same color and rims on mine. I'm assuming the previous owner sandblasted and powdercoated them? hmm...ha

No, stocks certainly did not come in that color. But it's a nice color. =)

give me a large pic of your car and i'll photoshop it for you.

[amsgator]

3 coats of primer, 3 of color, 3 of clear? plus sand down b4? how do they hold up on chipped etc?

[amsgator]

how long does it take to finish? about? and did you let them set overnight before strapping them back on?

[amsgator]

also, is it safe to keep the car on a jack for like 8 hours? i only have two jackstands and i dont have enough time to do two wheels at a time, so i'd have to stick the front on stands and the back on the jack or vice-versa... it's a 2 ton floor jack...is it ok to leave a jack up for that long?

[aMaff]

no

theres a how to on how to fix curb rash. it involves a little bondo, and a lot of time.
turns out very nicely though.
id search, but i just got home from work (graveyard shift yeaaaaa) so im way to tired to look for it

You should look into powder coating...
