Default Racing Dynamics re-paint
i've tested the flat black on the one wheel and totally dig the look. i noticed that any little mark that i didn't tend to showed up when i was finished. so, i took all four wheels to work today and put them through the sand blast treatment...they now look better. after sand blasting them i took a pneumatic grinder with a sweet little sanding wheel to the curb-rash...then a sanding disc to smooth out the whole edge of the lip. when i got home i spent another 4 hours hand sanding them until i felt like i had a super smooth finish that would look fantastic once painted. i took a few photos to share with you all...enjoy!

For the record, they're Daytona Violet, not purple!
