Paint Experimentation
Decided to put my old burnt out/tired rims back into action with a little makeover.
Used this stuff to strip off the old clear coat of my polished Rota J-Mag wheels. After the stripper did its job, taped up the rims. Bought this kit... Dupli Color Copper Plate kit..... thought I would need only one kit haha silly mistake.... I actually needed three kits at 17$ per kit After multiple screw ups with runs and uneven coats I finally started to see them change colours. Almost done! had to really stretch the last can.... Didnt want to buy another 17$ kit! Finished product after multiple coats of copper transparent paint and thick layers of high gloss clear coating! Put them up against car to see how they looked.... Couldnt put them on yet as Im waiting a full 12 hours for them to dry completely. Last pic, we noticed my clothes matched my car! I'll have to post a proper pic of them on the car tomorrow.

That last pic is a good one!
That's what a Yaris Rat Rod would look like. Get some super long axles! |

They do look good... and yeah unfortunately the tires are huge... and the tailpipe is just a throwback to bozoku style... better than looking at an ugly rusted stock pipe ;p
