Thank you

The pinstripe is vinyl pinstriping from checker. 1/4" x 36' was about 5$ lol

Dayum! Those are sexy!

You did a great job. The paint you used it the exact same I used for the panels on the inside of my car.

i say it would look better without the steelies painted red. Just sorta points out that they are in fact steelies.

That looks awesome too! I might have to steal your idea.. lol

I agree, you should paint your steelies back to Black. Would make it look lots better, but it still looks great.

The grille detail is great!
The red steelies were neatly done, but yes they are steelies with tidy red paint imo.
I am resisting...the urge...to...scream...Batmobile! :rotflmao
Those are the best doctored up hubcaps i have seen in a while!
Keep up the good work. Any good spot for pinstripe on rear?

Now that's what i call quite good.
Looks very distinct without the "tried-to-use-up-the-last-of-my-red" look. :yesnod
Is that Burt West behind the wheel?

to those who paint steelies? do you just mask off the tire etc and leave the wheels on when you do it?

reason i ask is because my gf's car could use them touched up, discoloration showing through the hubcaps on her hyundai
