okay the 1st thing I started that I've been contemplating doing is painting my rims. You can see how they were before in my sig. Well here's what I did. I used lots of sand paper, and High temp resistant Primer, Gloss black, and clear coat.

good job on the rim painting. What kind of primar and high heat paint did you use for the wheels? I was planning on painting my rims black too.

Dupli-Color. I let them sit in warm water for like 2 hours, then sprayed light even coats...The paint seems to work pretty good, and I don't think it'll chip.

I just started posting here again not long ago after a leave of absence..had way to much going on to work on the crx. but now I'm finishing up afew things I've been wanting to do..got some stock si tails. Painting rims, and mpfi swap.
