Painted my alloys black
... And I kinda miss them as polished. Also, I have just finally taken the TRD Stickers off. Its too bad cause I miss the extra 10hp gain.
Oh well.
Before (Only pic I have)
AFTER
Testing them in the sand
What I did:
1) Used a wire wheel on a drill for a good 10 minutes, and scuffed them up real good. Areas I couldn't reach, I used 320 sand paper.
2) Rubbed clean with acetone
3) Used the playing card technique to mask off the tire (Look it up, its easy)
4) Sprayed dupli-color self etching primer
5) About 4 coats of Krylon flat black
