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

Very impressive!! Did you happen to do both sides at one time? I'm really wanting to see the first 5th gen completely wrapped in newspaper!!

Best photo ever.. Close up I can see a couple of cars I would like to purchase. I was also thinking if Chevrolet ever wants to mask there cars. Why not use newspaper?

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.
