High metallic, looks great
Tell me about the bumpers.

 

Custom refinishing of your rims, includes minor repairs, powder coat, applying the metal coating, and a clearcoat finish (which I imagine could be tinted.) Pricy, right? The $1000 was perhaps a “qualifying” price given at a car show booth, for rather large sample truck wheels. Bargain hunter repellent. I imaging the actual price might vary a bit, depending.

Obviously not a budget solution, as you can find brand new wheels for less. What you get is the ability to pick colors as well as the brightness of the metalizing.

 

what would you like to know about them? thanks by they way

 

Today, I cleaned up a small area of corrosion, at the bottom inside of the rear hatch, sanded , primered, painted . After 10 years it cleaned up very nicely.

 

Nothing like a nice, fresh paint job! Looks great!!!!

 

Do you have a paint gun or did you rattle can?

Is there a list somewhere of what rattle can mfg./colors come closet to match OEM HHR colors?

 

For the tailgate, I rattle can sprayed. I used Duplicolor products, match is fairly good.
I’ve had great colour match with

my 2LT is a 2011 Carbon Flash metallic
my LS was 2007 Imperial Blue metallic

both matched up very well

 

I gotta do this to the seams of the front doors. I see a tiny bit of rust trying to do it duty - I hate rust! It's Satan's makeup! Lol.

 

I used Dawn and clear water to clean off debris, then a small stainless steel wire brush, some brake cleaner spray to clean any wax or oils, then a light scuff with red Scotchbrite pad, another rubbing alcohol wipe then grey primer, body coloured paint and clear. Fairly painless

 

Are those 17's or 18's ?
