all this wheel painting is making me want to do it, just don't know what color to go with.

give them 3-4 days before you try and polish/wash them for the paint to really settle in. i made the mistake of trying to shine them up after a day and the paint flaked off in some spots where it hadnt completley dried. so i resprayed the problem areas and gave them 4 days before i tried rubbing them down again. look good now.

i just painted my chrome center caps today. ill go back later and put a black A on there like the one that was on there today, or try and find an acura sticker to put on it. IMO, a black A on your centercaps over bronze would look bangin

I just repainted my wipers last week. My friend and I were out on my deck, looked over at my car while the arms were off drying, and we both commented on it at the same time. Then it seemed like the next obvious comment was to shave the wiper fluid nozzles.
Some day I'll have the money to fabricate some hidden wiper do-hickey.

I'd let that paint cure for a few days before slappin them on, last thing you want to do is chip the paint putting your lugs on

Not to go completly off topic, but theres got to be a way to relocate the sprayers to the base of the windshield, then angle them up enough tostill get the windshield. as for hiding wipers.. wouldnt a longer hood (towards the windshield) help that? may have to make it an inch or so taller to prevent from scraping, but IMO thatd be sick.
Speaking of that... I need to adjust mine some too you just put like a pin in the hole and move it don't you?

There's always a way, but then what do you do with the holes in your hood?

place a small peice of sheet metal underneath it, then use fiberglass body filler to get it nice and level, mask it off, throw some primer on it, since your and my cars are black, color matching wouldnt be too hard. it seems very do-able in my head

In your head, things always seem doable, we had a member on here that shaved his monkey pissers, and it looked clean. Won't work for me cuz I have a CF hood
