Default Working on the Mustang

I pulled the wheels off last week. Had the tires dismounted, stripped the caps & stems, then sent them out for sandblasting.

I then dropped them off at the powercoat line at work for a coat of textured black. Just picked them up this morning.

Right now I didn't have the extra cash to pay for powdercoating. I was able to get the black done for free at work because we run it in high volume. Down the road I will probably do some highlights in orange on the wheels and grille.

I was just kidding...I think the only accent color on green is BLACK. I would switch to black....

I have used it before, but the colors just don't show up correctly for the green/orange combo. Also, you cannot change the color of many wheels in there. Photoshop works better for that and is how I put my avatar together to see if I would like the black wheels.
