Sorry, should have mentioned that they will be clear coated, they just haven't been yet. Can't believe I forgot to say that, hehe.

And I understand about the pink... it's a girl thing

And why NOT do it for race wheels? If these were my daily driver wheels I would have taken them someplace to be blasted/done right. But they aren't. They aren't in perfect condition, and I wanted to do something fun. Who cares if they end up chipping or peeling? I'll either do some touch up work (and again, not really worry how picture perfect it comes out), or I'll just redo em all in another crazy paint scheme! So no, I'm not worried at all about scratches/chips/etc. I don't run on the wheels on that often, and when I do... well, I'd rather see scratches on these then on my daily driver ones.

And yes, I could have spent a lot less time doing it... like I said, I am very picky and honestly... I got a lot of crap about wanting to do this myself from some guys who thought I couldn't do it. Well screw them, I knew I could and this proved it, and if it took me 17+ hours, then so be it. I am extremely proud of the results and wouldn't take back a single hour in favor of saving time. I like having "projects" that I can take care of without asking for TOO much help, or without having someone do it for me.
