Well, it took longer than I thought and planned but its almost done. Got the wheels powder coated in Gold Nugget, has a texture to it, which is cool, then clear coated a couple times. Unfortunately I already shot the rotors in the same gold nugget, expecting the wheels to be in the lime, but we switched wheel color yesterday. So, I'll be taping the rotors back off and shooting a hint of lime over them tomorrow or this week (still waiting on new wheel seals). I think the contrast with the lime sprocket, black hub and gold wheel looks nice, really stands out. Looking at the gold rotors I just dont get that feeling of being in awe, so gotta do lime.
Rear Wheel
Close up rear wheel, trying to show the texture...
The labor crew, L-R, Railman (Aubrey) the painter in learning, Slyder (Nick my wingman) my elbow grease and meticulous eye, Rightie (Dan da Kid) more elbow grease and color coordinator.
Double Down (John) chaser, elbow greaser, door man (makes for a clean path when carrying 400* parts from the oven to the cooling rack!).
Front, gold on gold, which I need to change.
Rear, contrasting Lime, Black, and Gold...I like.
The camera lens is jacked up, accidently had some root beer spilled on it and its making for a nasty clean-up.
