Gahhhh what technique did you use to fix the rash?

I bought my wheels second-hand, and they were all rashed up, dropped on the face, so there's nicks, and 'crater' like holes on a few spots. I've been wanting to fix the rash and smooth out the face.

Those turned out great

Kakash24 · 11-11-2012, 09:52 PM

Looks great! I'm going to be doing the same to my Super 7's this week, as they're badly rashed up and pretty much what Dim described his as.

I'm looking at the same shade of gunmetal as yours or perhaps black. Black is just easier to get than gunmetal. I'm mainly using them as winter wheels so, I'm not hellbent on refinishing them perfectly, just better than their current condition. Heavily considering plastidip with the metallizer since my TRD's need refinishing too lol

Thanks for staying away from the highlighter colors...makes the car classy. The flourescent pinks are for the kids...gunmetal is for the mature men.

Trendy/hypebeast colors will go out of style just as fast as you can paint them...its just like "swag vs class". But I see you are already setting a better example for your friends (I hope you are the most mature of all of them)...they'll thank you later for that.
