So i swapped over my saleens to my 95 and decided to sell the r's but since they are a little scuffed up and need some love i decided to fixem up and paint em

as you can see they are ok, but kind of plain.

step 1 clean the crap out of them
step 2 scuff up with 400 grit
step 3 tape up
step 4 primer

finished

step 5 paint

step 6 clear

finished product

what do you think?

Looks really sweet. Is it a just straight gun metal sort of color or does it have a little brownish tint to it? I ask because it looks kinda like Mineral Gray in the last pic. How much are you gonna sell em for too?

Its duplicolor graphite rim paint, the reason for the skew in tint is i was under yellow light and my cheap point and shoot camera can't adjust white balance.

I dont know how much im going to sell them for...i think they might be real cobra r rims...the center caps from my friends fake r rims wont fit in it...but the two r caps i have fit perfect and they say made in the usa in them...but no part number that i can find

Not to be mean here, but the fact that you painted them kinda negates the fact that they might be real Cobra R's...

even if they were real they still needed to be refreshed...so no offense taken
