RE: Banpei's new TA60 family cruiser
Small update on the Black Racing rims. After sanding them down I cleaned them thoroughly and applied two layers of primer. I didn't take pictures of this proces, but I do have one picture when I applied the first layer of paint to the first wheel:
I ended up going for cheap ass Motip 51047 paint which appears to be somewhere between Watanabe gunmetal grey and bronze. After three layers of paint I applied three layers of clear coat matte: I'm quite pleased with the results. Not bad for a rattlecan job inside a shed. There are a lot of flaws, like for instance this wheel where a spec of dust settled on the clear coat when it was still wet: And you can still see some scratches of my sanding action, so that's not perfect either. But it was never my intention to make them perfect. If I wanted that, I would have sent them to some company that would coat them and make them perfect. I had low expectations to begin with, so I'm pleased enough. ![]() In the meanwhile I have also painted the frames of the JDM tail lights. I forgot to take photos of that and I also need to paint the red stripe on them. So that progress will follow later. 1983 - AE86 Sprinter Trueno - import project 2013 - Honda Civic sport - daily driver 2004 - AEU86 dot ORG - daily domain Support our forum, buy from the AEU86 shop: ![]() |
