I think everyone needs to hit they're wheel wells with some nice black paint, mine were disgusting and since i am showing at the rocky mountain rod and custom show(only the biggest indoor show in colorado) i needed to look good, also painted drums, waxing her tommorrow, vacuuming then it gets off the jack stands to take it to move in on tuesday, at the show complex till sunday night and then it goes back up on the stands for the airride install

The painted brakes are just a quick fix until i get some big ones to fill out the 18's that are coming

Before

 

after, its a little glossy, still wet

shocks will also be gone soon, took off that plastic skirting and painted it seperate

 

and the back, got a little carried away and got the spring, no biggie since its getting ousted shortly, time to giver a good cleaning and maybe win something

 

looks like undercoating but really really shiny, hopefully you hit it with some satin or semi-gloss and it's just reflecting off the flash on the camera, i have to do my car sometime this winter as well, even though it's not too bad yet, still is an eyesore.

 

there was already an undercoating type finish on it, i just went over that after a good scrubbing, its not nearly that glossy in person

 

i was just looking at my sig pic and yours.....our cars look very similar now. just need to get my tint done when spring hits after i finish up the interior and i'm set. great minds think alike don't you think

 

wow they do, except i dont have a cage yet, and i'm going with 18's and airride, Nice ride

 

Your car is coming along great man, I like how you're addressing every area of the car. I really look forward to see some updated pics soon.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^What he said. Great car. It sure is coming along great. I can't wait to see it with the air rides.

P.S. what did you use to paint it?

 

Looks great but just curious...do you guys use the plastic part of the well or just removed those...i dunno what would look better...i think i remember i needed to keep it from a lot of stuff getting in the fenderwells but its not on in ur picture. Did you paint that also or you just not use those?

 

Dude I love your car! Cool idea with the wheel wells.

 

I have them off i figured id be easier to paint em seperate than risk accidently hitting the fender since its right there, If you take em off you can actually get crap up into the engine compartment, in a rain storm it might get messy, plus you have a bunch of crap hidden up there so it looks better with em on....

I used rustoleum, brushed it on so i didnt get crap everywhere since its in the garage with the 34

 

Looks good, but does that paint have any sort of protective properties?? I guess it depends on if you drive your car alot though (dont know if you do drive it alot, or if its a garage queen).

When i first got my car i sprayed all new 3M rubberized undercoating in the wheel wells and it looked great...even though now its all dull.

 

What a difference some black paint can make!

 

I did that to mine after I painted the car (red wheel wells look horrible) and I was surprised to see the difference.

 

Yea it looks amazing with the wheels on it and i havent even seen it in day light, got it off the stands out outside today so i could vaccum it, I figure it should last i drive it a fair amount but it doesnt get driven in wet or nasty weather

 

i need to do that...big time...

looks good!!!

 

I did this to mine with POR 15... Makes a big difference

 

Im adding this to my todo list! nice job

 

heh...when i pulled off the passenger side plastic wheel well on my gf's RS...i found a hole and some carpet above it

rust sucks.

I really need to get time to por15 my car got the stuff right here...i think ill just spray over the factory undercoating with regualar black spray paint i did a minor job when i got the car. I should really take my time pull off the wheels and shoot it all really nice.

 

i should probably do it too. we have some por15 at school and no one will care if i use it. should i get inside the inner fenders too?
