I can only imagine what the neighbors thought when they seen your car covered in newspaper like that. Kudos for being different and going with white instead of black. Very nice.

I give props to Couture for trying this project on her own . Great job. If you are happy with the results that's all that matters.

I was thinking of changing the color due to my stock chrome ones accumulating so much brake dust, I can only image what the white will look like after one small drive. I wish you well, I like to look of the contrast with red.

looks Great! But think the covering of the car was the most impressive part LOL How long did that take?

I used duplicolor wheel paint on my first set of wheels and it came out looking great and durable as hell.

Looks great, good job and glad you had a project to do with your daughter

As it is I don't like it. It may look better though once you add stripes.

GREAT PHOTO!!!
Add a pinstripe and it will look sharp.
A trick when painting wheels with the tire on is to coat the tire with WD40 or film of oil and overspray will wipe right off.

Classic picture.

I did do it all at the same time. Actually I did leave a very narrow area open without newspaper and well it get a fine mist of overspray. I cleaned it for the most part but I'm taking it into get a show room detail soon.
