Got Bored....Painted the Stockers..
Got bored 2day, so I decided to paint the stockers a different color rather than keeping them black, cuz everyone paints their stockers black.

So I went out and wet sanded the stockers, and painted them white. The white doesnt match my paint, but it doesnt look to bad IMO.

Sry for the crappy camera shot. Night time pics suck on my camera.

Enjoy

I just used 600 grit, nothing big, I mean I dont even really know what to exactly use.
So i wet sanded it with 600 grit, for about 15-20 min each rim.

Then cleaned it up. Layed two coats of primer down. Then applied two coats of the color down, and then 1 coat of clear, and lightly wet sanding with 800 in between coats.
so a total of two coats of primer, two coats of white, and two coats of clear.

I went to home depot and picked everything up. Was like 25 bucks. I got the Painter Touch cans.
