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
