I just wanted to post a few pics of my rims for people that may want to go purple but was just not to sure how the purple looks. If anyone would like a close up picture of a rim in the sun just let me know. They have a metal flake in them which makes them look cool IMO
first few pics is with no plasti dip.
and after being plasti dipped. Plasti dip i used-- 4 coats of black for a base(used 4 cans) Purple Metalizer--6 coats ( used 3 cans) and Glossifier-- 4 coats (used 2 cans)
I know it's an optical allusion, but why does our front wheels look larger then the rear wheel. Even with my 2.5" drop it looks that way, LOL!! Drives me :runaway:
Well the weather is not the greatest, but i went out and cleaned one up to get some pictures for you guys. They still look sweet, but look super amazing when the sun is hitting them because they change to different shades of purple. I tried to capture them at different angles to show you but there is no sun out lol. I will get some more pictures once the sun ever comes back out some day lol.
Its weird, in this dull day they look not as deep purple, but on a sunny day, boy they look alot deeper purple lol, look at the pictures of them from a far back pic i took in my first post
WoW, the salt really takes its toll on the calipers and rotors.
It snows here in New Mexico, but our city is to cheap to put
salt on the roads, LOL!! But I rearly take my Eclipse out in
bad weather.
Thank you!!, yeah i just got the car in February and the prior owner drove it a few times in the winter. It actually looks worse than what they are. The calipers have no rust on them at all, they are actually factory painted black, they were just super dirty in them pictures, due to raining the last few days. The rotors how ever lol, they are lol.
I will not be driving it in the winter lol, i got my Grand AM GT for that lol
