Quite the transformation there, very nice. That unpainted but used original look is rather unique lol

Nice, that's a sharp, simple but eye-catching paint-job there.

Very nice :)

It's hard to tell from the photos, but are the wheels a matt silver?

Hi everybody,

Thnaks for your comment.

@CAT3K,
Yes the wheels are matt silver. Initially, it was the rim original CAT (black color) and I wanted to paint in Chrome color.
I used Alclad chrome paint but the result is not good.
When I have some time, I would start to paint these rims

That's interesting, I bought some plasti-kote chrome spray to test a similar idea. I haven't had a chance to test it yet though.
