My bored summer puttering projects....WITH PICS!!!!!!!!!
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.
 1st I painted my calipers High temp red.  The rim sanded and ready.  here's the Rim primered.  1st of 3 coats of gloss black   Semi done pics. the last Clear coat is still drying  On the crx One of my other projects hoping to finish by october, Mpfi swap! Here's my manifold and my supposedly "chipped" pm6   Well let me know what you all think, for better or worse. Sorry about the low res pics. It's the only digi i have access to right now.

Re: My bored summer puttering projects....WITH PICS!!!!!!!!!
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.

Long time no see
 Good to see you turn to the dark side  Nice to see the crx is gettin along nicely keep up the good work I haven't been on in a while because I haven't been doing much to my crx, just driving it. But I did go to the track last week and dropped a low 14! WEE!

Yeah I finally got around to painting them, you were right I already like the look alot better. 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.That time slip is a nice run though. So there's nothing new done to your motor?

Rims look sweet. Get the MPFI swap done. You should definitely notice a difference...
