we painted the rims inside a garage to avoid dust and anything landing on the paint while it was drying. that's why i masked up the side of the car so i wouldn't get any overspray on it. hahaha and yes that was just the primer. haha thanks pete!

pictures should be up tomorrow night, i'll be taking some pictures tomorrow night and posting them up
