Wheels, paint in economy class. — Toyota Celica, 1.8 liter, 1995

Winter is getting closer and closer.

      Toyota Celica 18 1995


By the way, I have the original discs. I decided to put them to work, namely to put them on in the winter. But, it was necessary to roll out three discs. The search to find a master did not last long. The master was found the next day, who rolled out one disc for 19.15 Eur. After 3 days all the work is ready. Now the moment of appearance has come, because they were all shabby and simply not well-groomed. I decided to paint them, namely in the economy class. I cleaned them by putting a brush on the drill and in front, after which I sat and polished. True, this didn’t really help perfectly, it was necessary to sandblast. Okay, proceeded to the ground and blew in 2 layers. Gave a day to dry and then painting in the main black metallic and also 2 layers. They also dried out for a day and already the final stage is a red line and also 2 layers. As a result, I got a more or less accurate job. Yes, in some places there is something that I didn’t want it to be.

Dooooo

After economy class

To be honest, I am very pleased with the work. One question in my head - "how long is it?!". I think it’s enough for the winter, if I paint something at my school with a spray gun. Gee!

Now the problem is different, we need to make the covers in the center. I didn’t have them, but buy original ones in the Toyota center for 1 pc. 51Eur, no desire.
But, there is only one chance. Carved from a piece of iron. And I even know who to turn to!)))

Well, here is another photo, where the very places that I didn’t want to see so much ... But, on the other hand, handmade is visible!)))

Thanks!
I also thought about this, that I won’t see the red stripe in winter.
I consoled!))) The spray cans are still left, if anything, I will repaint.)))

Yes, everything is great!
1. They will still be mostly dirty in winter.
2. How long and hard to sandblast, cook, douse with powder paint ... And then drive and worry that some kind of stone flew in or scratched with a key, it’s easier to repaint)

Just perfect for winter!

NiCk-167EsT 27.01.22

Thank you!) In fact, the preparation for the ground was the longest and most sugary process, and the gluing with electrical tape of the construction length of the red line. Here is the result!))) Thanks again!)))

Wow! oO
But it looked really funny!))) For that positive!
By the way, thanks for the tip on coloring them... come in handy!

Unreal 27.01.22

I'll say more :)
First there was photoshop, and then, because. the computer does not give a "feeling of reality" I painted the disks with GOUASH, each disk had different patterns, drove (until I got to the sink) like an idiot :) three / four days ... then washed it off))))

N
NiCk-167EsT 27.01.22

I agree, black wheels on the car are simply lost! You at least in Photoshop, and I put color cards! xD

U
Unreal 27.01.22

Well, no, black is definitely not an option because it merges with rubber. I also racked my brain :) and drew in Photoshop.

N
NiCk-167EsT 27.01.22

Thank you!)
I thought and thought not very long. It has long been advised by a friend to highlight the disks of the red lines, otherwise if it is pure black it is lost in the background. Further why I decided to red, from two sides there is a red and yellow color against a background of black and silver. Because of this, I decided on the red.

U
Unreal 27.01.22

Not bad, quite.
I just don't understand why the red stripe? If the car was red, I would agree.

N
NiCk-167EsT 27.01.22

Oh, well, you don’t have to do it like that!))) There was help, in cleaning up, since it’s really a sugary business, also help was in closing the black color. Thanks! It's nice to hear, after such efforts!))) It's still too early to install, they are winter ones and you need to find covers ...

Damn Nick, I'll see you, I'll shake your hand tightly! When you talked about your plans, in life you would not have thought that it would turn out to do it yourself! I take back my words! Huge respect! Would look great with a red welt! Put them soon))

NiCk-167EsT 27.01.22

Well, you can play with the name a bit. try something like
WHEEL HUB RIM CENTER CAP CAPS COVER

NiCk-167EsT 27.01.22

Yes, all from a can. 2 bottle primer was gone, and black paint is also almost 2, since there is a sediment at the bottom and then I didn’t decide to paint it further because it could give smudges.
It is necessary to look, but how to ask such a smart question?!
Roll out the discs, I have already rolled them out for 900kr (3 pcs.). And honestly very good, satisfied with the master. But I'm not the first to see him.

and I thought you'd notice or you'd notice! xD

s
somebody 27.01.22

normul turned out. chtoli figaril from a spray can? how much paint did you use? Have you looked at eBay about the central plug? sure there will be. rolling discs, why and how to understand that it's time to do it.

ps finally, at least out of the corner of my eye noticed you. did you go to school?

N
NiCk-167EsT 27.01.22

We are trying! Since winter is already close, and forged wheels are better anyway ...

Roshe 27.01.22

nice, well done!

N
NiCk-167EsT 27.01.22

price yes 600 kr 4pcs. paint and varnish, surprised the primer is not necessary (I will ask again!).
Right now it’s hanging at the competition, if they accept it, then everyone closes it one day ... Horror ... I just started learning to do business right now, namely, I helped the schoolgirl with putty, I’ll take care of the hood (not mine), my classmate also thinks to give it to the mercy of ...

s
somebody 27.01.22

Well, I would fit the wheels, then when I change the ears for winter ones. When can you tentatively close? but for the "words" please. Happy to help

N
NiCk-167EsT 27.01.22

ok, the only problem is… maybe the workshop will be closed in winter and that’s it… we probably won’t be able to paint so much anymore…
by the way, thank you for ebay with words. Slightly removed something and found what I needed!))) 4 caps in the area 1400kr and not for 800kr 1pc ...

s
somebody 27.01.22

N
NiCk-167EsT 27.01.22

then I will definitely find out the price from the teacher!))) I will tell you by Wednesday!

somebody 27.01.22

you want to say that you can agree on the painting of disks for 600 eek + beer and crackers? If so, then I'm already in line.

NiCk-167EsT 27.01.22

I really want to paint my rims white for next season. Here I think, either do it the way you do or give it to the specialists. punched at the specialists, either 500 or 600 crowns a piece.

Once again I will ask how to understand that the disks require a layout?

in 21 techs, 4 wheels for 600 kr… That is, they will sand them for you, apply primer, and paint over and cover with varnish. (Soon there will be a Tutorial on how we painted the disc!)
If like me, then grinding or better to find a sandblaster, then stock up on cylinders.

That is, in the event of an accident, the disk deforms and becomes an egg. After that, a wild knock begins, and is transmitted to the ball, etc., that is, it is harmful. Therefore, in our country there is a concept to roll out a disk, to make it round (by the way, in Europe, disks are not rolled out, they are sold for a penny, we buy them, we roll them and sell them as new!). They put it, as it were, on a machine tool, the disk spins there and it is as if squeezed out, somewhere they even grind it off.

N
NiCk-167EsT 27.01.22

That is how it is!

E
Eugan38 27.01.22

As far as I understand, this is when they are very crooked from the ride of all kinds of craftsmen and our smooth Estonian roads! To bring them in order, that is, straighten them more or less again and roll them out!

It’s cool that I have caps almost according to the same system in my ideas to paint, more precisely, they are already ready for painting, everything is pasted over, the current is too lazy)) in the dream of red it will be sour pink or orange and the rest is black mat) _ as on AVATARK)

N
NiCk-167EsT 27.01.22

White will then become black ... But black is not so visible ... Although the blacks themselves are pinned!)))

somebody 27.01.22

it turned out well for hand maida ... I think it will also get confused on painting the drains of disks. I think I’ll paint it white or black
