Tooning Gone Wrong: Wheels Too Expensive? Paint the Stockers!

Dirty car? Check. Uneven spray coverage? Check. Overspray onto the tires? Check.

Nothing says F&F Midnight Club Sleeper like a $1.95 can of flat black spray paint hastily applied in the dark with aid of a flashlight.

A recent DSMTalk thread on wheel painting inspired user daonlyillwiz (try typing that three times real fast) to take his second gen Talon to the next level. Despite a lot of crosstalk from well-meaning fellow DSM owners on proper protocol, he couldn't be bothered with small details like priming, sanding, or masking. It's amazing that he painted as much of the wheel that he did without getting black paint on his shiny red calipers.

Remember, kids. Just say no. Get them painted by a professional if you must. If you're really that destitute, invest that $2 in something more sensible - like lottery tickets.
