    river pics

    Snapped a few pictures with my friends yesterday so figured that I would share:

    By the way does anyone know a free hosting site that doesn't decrease the quality of the picture when you upload it? I've noticed cardomain and photobucket make the pic much smaller and less quality.

    i don't know about superflyrolla, but i also have lighter tint on the front windows, but thats becuase in Cali its illegal to have any tint in front at all, so i wanted to make sure i had that contrast to avoid getting pulled over

    btw, really sweet ride man

    Thanks for the comments guys. Believe me I pulled the e-brake extra hard when I took those pictures right next to the river. Anyway I don't have any tint on my front windows because it's illegal in Iowa, I'd like to get the fronts done but I guess the law says otherwise. I wish I wouldve taken pictures at this spot during the fall so all those trees were colorful.

    Oh yeah forgot to add, the wheel paint works great. I still havn't had any problems with it, even through a salty/sandy winter. I'm sure it's not as good as powdercoating but doing it that way saved me some good money.

    It's been a few monthes now I think. Survived iowa winter very well. The only complaint I have is that it's not real easy to clean, but with a darker finish it doesnt really matter.

    did you have to primer or anything? also i know you painted it with the tire on as well, did you take the wheel/tire off the car at least? also how did you paint the lip where the wheel and the tire sidewall meets? any sanding involved?

    I didn't use primer, might be a good idea though. When you spray the wheel paint on it doesn't seem like normal paint, its more like spraying a bunch of flakes all over the wheel. I think thats why it doesn't chip, it might just rub a little off if it were scratched. The lip was already that chrome color so I just masked it off. I took the wheels off the car and masked the tires.

    Thanks guys for the comments.
