I have done it a few times before. My first time doing it was real shitty. Alot of sagging, and random chipping.

For those of you who want to do it yourself, just sand really good. 180 grit and a 320 finish, works well, 4 to 5 light coats of prime, and 3 coats of rim paint takes care of painting. And for clear, 3 light coats does the trick. Just make sure to spray in a circular motion, from the outside in. This prevents sagging and uneven coverage. For those of you who rather have someone else do it, pm me.

The forum is to speak your mind. So suck it.

The both of you need to chill the fuck out! Go over to the Honda forum if you're going to act like this.

I do not like getting into childish forum wars, but I will defend myself from reckless attacks. I'll calm down. The last place I want to be is in the honda, our srt forums.

lol

Hey, SRTforums was very helpful for me when I had mine. Every forum has threads that no one is proud of.

Yeah, because a Mazda forum somehow has so much more prestige than a Honda or SRT forum. Just as many fuck bags here as there are over there. Don't fool yourselves.
