Well that's not to bad they sure will look good
You people keep making me want a set for my car. Sadly I don't get harsh winters so I'd only have a use for them at a track with DRs on them. Still keeping an eye out for a set tho. lol
I found another set of polished on a 96 grand prix tried to talk the guy in switching them out for my polished 97 at the dealer told him mine have better tires and I just want the ones that say pontiac on them didn't go for it I guess lmaoQuote:

If all goes easily lile this one I will continue with stripper, and hopefully get wheels all coated by next weekend and get them on and order some springs. If I get the ok anyway.

One wheel is cooling and done. I may have put too many coats on it though.

Looks great so far. Love the black chrome
The powder came from prismaticpowders.com less than $20 for a lb of powder. I spent $45 on the 2lbs I have for the wheels, have a feeling I will need more.Quote:

Wow they are coming along great can't wait to see tires and the car driving on them
Yes those rims look sweet
Thanks. I have some improvements to make on the next one to see if I can get the powder to cover better, and give the correct "black chrome look" but I can always do the rest in more coats to match the first because I actually like how they turned out more of a gunmetal color. Fits the color I want to paint the fascia's in.
