Diggin' it!
Alot of people have told me to go bronze on my silver ep, maybe black or white... not SILVER!
I think your bronze was too dark, I'll always favor silvers over mis-matches...

NOW LET'S SEE THEM ON YOUR RIDE !!!

Looks good. Can you post a how-to? Isn't the air craft paint stripper really acidic? Acidic enough to hurt you?

[Makross]

Do it jim the rims would look hot in that color :)



A "How-To" would be real easy :)

step one: Clean wheels

step two: spray a heavy coat on each rim

step three: let it sit for 15-20 min.

step four: Hose it down with water

if the paint is still on just keep applyin the aircraft stripper and let it sit. And be careful always use a glove or somesort you dont want this to get on your skin. IT'LL EAT YOU ALIVE!:angel:
