The dark side of the moons

I'm giving them until Sunday to dry, and then they get clayed, waxed and buffed. 2 coats of primer, 3 coats of paint and one heavy coat of clear. This is all part of a bunch of exterior cosmetic stuff taking place here in the next few weeks. The headlights and tail lights are coming off one more time for a final coating, the new moons go on and a new window banner will be on its way from my buddy Thomas in Thailand shortly. :biggrin: By the way, everything I used was from Autozone and didn't cost much. I used a 3M scuff pad and some rubbing alcohol for starters to get all the dirt and oil off of them, then Duplicolor sandable primer and Duplicolor high performance wheel coating in black and clear. They look good.

dude in that second picture you look like you inhaled a bit too much spraycan fumes... open the windows next time!

[ChinoCharles]

Dude, to be honest it started raining somewhere in there and I had to close the garage and... well... I'm fucking wasted. :bonk:

[yrsdrgn]

those look pretty nice

[Yaris Revenge]

That is going to luck so utterly bizarre that I can't even picture it. Can't wait to see how it turns out! :biggrin:

BTW, I notice you're rockin' the A* hat... what do you ride?

[ChinoCharles]

I ride a Suzuki GSX-R 600 in my dreams!

No, seriously, I'm just crazy about motors and IMHO sport bikes are the pinnacle of all motoring. Well, that and F1. Anyway, for now I'm just a wannabe, but I'll have my bike one day.

[Yaris Revenge]

Heh, I like weird vehicles.... anything that looks different from the status quo, I'm all about it. Guess that's probably the main reason I wound up with a Buell XB12Ss Lightning. There are certainly more "sophisticated" bikes out there for less money, but Gixxers never get the question "Whoa, what the hell is that?!" :wink:

My fascination for weird is also why I've been so heavily considering the smart fortwo for next year. And the reason I like the Yaris LB. :biggrin:

Okay, threadjack over! :tongue: Back to hubcaps!

Preview time.

I think it makes for an interesting winter look. I know which rims I want.

Rock those in all their 17 inches of glory in the summer and wrap the steelies in some Blizzaks for winter. :cool:

[vodkalush]

ummm... I'm not sure what I'm going to do mine in now...

I'm either going black to clash with the white, or I'm going to do mine in white to blend with the rest of the body (as there will be the black tire boarder...)

I'm interested in seeing if the spray paint will hold up to road wear.

[ChinoCharles]

I am too. This paint is specifically for wheels, so I would hope it would hold up well. We shall see!

[CASTREX]

Looking nice. :thumbup:

You got to put some shiny stuff to the tires...!

[Yaris Revenge]

Okay, that's just... well..... I dunno. I'm at a loss for words. Hmm.

I'm gonna' go with "unattractive"... which I don't mean in a bad way. It's very interesting, but not pretty. Does that make sense?

You should do something utterly crazy with that blank canvas. Like a vinyl wrap of the standard black & white "psycho" swirl... :biggrin:

Nice Pink Floyd Quote...

Quick question... What's the difference between Black Moons and Stock Steelies?

From 10 feet away can you even tell there's something there?

Either way... your Yaris is looking awesome!

:evil:

Sorta look like the Toby guy... you know the guy that plays Spider-man


Anyways, I too am lost for words about the "Moons" I like them and yet at the same time I don't ... :confused:

[boris13]

The moons are a good look for this car. However, I'd love to see that design in a brushed-aluminum finish. That would look incredible, especially on a silver car.

Hey man i have that same hat!:eyebulge::w00t:

[ChinoCharles]

Its because I cut all of my hair off. Weak, right? :frown: I look like im 13 with short hair.

I get Justin Timberlake a lot. That makes me laugh. I also get Matthew McCono-hey... not even going to try to spell it.

To those of you saying it looks like garbage, I don't necessarily disagree with you. :wink: The silver on the hubbies and the silver of my car were clashing, though, and that definitely looked like garbage. At least this is somewhat close to OK. Its kind of a tongue-in-cheek mod... more meant to turn heads than look "good." We will see what it looks like when they're all waxed up and glossed out, and yes, I'll put some tire shine on. :biggrin:

[Yaris Revenge]

I've got it! They look "utilitarian futuristic". Like something out of Robocop or Mad Max. :smoking:

How much were the hubcaps?
