did you play around getting the consistency of the paint right on?

For these wheels I used One Shot in silver metallic

Here's a pic of a fixture I made several years ago for striping my wheels. The wheel in the pic is just a demo. I've done several sets of wheels for friends of mine, with different line widths and spacing and they all came out looking very good. I used a cone-shaped piece of wood which centers the striping tool. The linkage allows me to set the stiper just about anywhere on the wheel it needs to be.

Very nice Ken! Years ago I had a pro stripe an A roadster for me.He made it look so easy that I felt confident that I could do it too.So I bought a quality brush and proceeded to stripe my propane tank.Good thing it was a propane tank.

Ken,

Does the rest of the car look as good as the wheels? You did good.

Well actually these wheel belong to a friend and they are for his 4 dr 39 Zephyr. I only did the striping and another friend painted the wheels,and almost did a good job too! The paint isnt too good on the car so I think he is gonna get the same person that painted the wheels to paint the whole car!! They call his shop the Black Hole Auto Restoration cause it goes in but never comes out.
