The concentric bushed effect really pulls it all together.

That's pretty dope, I didn't realize they were custom. Now I'm thinking about the other stuff I've needed over the years...

I didn't realize that either. Pretty sweet, I love custom stuff.

Well, here she is all dressed up and nowhere to go.

I like the side ones.

I like the side ones.

Not so big on the hood and trunk though?

ultimatt · « **Reply #105 on:** September 14, 2016, 12:09:05 pm »

Yeah, those ones aren't really doing it for me. The trunk one is passable, but with the front one it makes it looks like there is just something missing.

Not that I want you to screw up a badge, but maybe if it matched the stripe? (either a colour matched roundel or colouring the M to match)

Ambystom01 · « **Reply #106 on:** September 14, 2016, 12:43:20 pm »

Agreed, the all silver badge is too bland.

jackal · « **Reply #107 on:** September 14, 2016, 01:43:09 pm »

Hmmm. Fair thoughts. I'm guessing it's because the "M" is really subtle, and at times even hard to see.

I think I'll leave it for the time being and see what strikes me. It's a damn sight better than the BMW stock roundel, and it may take me a while to see if I like the thought of changing them.

If anything, I'd likely just fill in the engraved "M" with a copper matching paint.

I think that could look really nice. It would nicely tie things together.

But like others have said, I think the sides look good, but the front and rear are lacking a little definition.

Well maybe I'll give it a try then, but only on the front and back. Whats the worst that can happen... I have to remove a thimbles worth of paint.

Unique look! I like them

Fresh from my rattlecan workshop. Winter wheels.

Dope. What did you use?

Dope. What did you use?

I found a Duplicolor engine paint that was so close to the stripes, I had to go for it. I put three coats on of color and another three of a clear coat.

Here's the two of them together. Now I have to get my other two from Edmonton and repeat the process.

That looks sort of like old-school Mopar orange which is amazing. I have never tried to use their engine paints on wheels before, only their wheel paint which seems to hold up pretty well to brake dust.

The clear I used is specific to wheels and should add some protection.

Odd question, but no. Dare I ask what I'm setting myself up for if I ask why you ask?

Lol wut?

Not hipster enough for Jackal, too norm-core.

Ambystom01 · « **Reply #119 on:** September 19, 2016, 06:21:28 pm »

Not enough mustache.

snakeman · « **Reply #120 on:** September 19, 2016, 06:24:05 pm »

With a moustache like that I'm guessing Italian loafers all day errday

Ambystom01 · « **Reply #121 on:** September 19, 2016, 06:42:42 pm »

Nah, organic, non-GMO, Sudanese loafers. They look the same but cost 3x as much.

I'm not sure if I should be flattered or concerned about the time you're taking speculating on my shoes.

Maybe you should be concerned...I've been thinking of starting a thread called "Asstuna's Pants" for awhile now.
