My 98 GP SE and what ive done to it



OK bought rims today - but need nuts - factory dont fit.
rims are aluminum color, but want to powder coat white.

Very nice. Go to your local Auto Parts Place (look for a locking universal kit. needs to be M12x1.5 to match stock. I recommend the locking universal kit because of 2 reasons.

A) Multiple colors... and we know you like Blue :th_winking:

B) usually skinny lugs with a custom socket for them (DONT LOSE IT) allows for most aftermarket wheels.
 
If you seriously humored me and got rid of the blue decals...blue window visors...blue spoiler...


It might not look that bad.

Ill go to parts source - i know they are Canadian tire, but they are easier to talk to than crappy tire.
And there are not too many options for speed(aftermarket) shops.
 


please just leave them new wheels the way they are, they look to nice to play with. you have to much blue going on as it is, you need to break it up some.

you havent seen the 2 that have scuffs and scratches. And one of the two has road rash.
Both dont look too bad, but i think white will be better than aluminum color.

with that info, white would work for ya i think. just sand/file the damage areas up real good. prep is everything.

it isnt necessarily more of an even coat, i painted my rims and the coats are perfectly even. if done right painted rims will hold up just as good as powder coat

Powder coating is near free for me, my brother does it in his garage, its a part time thing for him.
 


At the autoparts store last night. Picking up some caliper paint. They have the white paint that glow blue too

Also seen some mufflers with a blue burnt tip. And fuzzy dice. Who still rocks fuzzy dice?
