Jim_1979 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Alright folks, curious as to what colour I should paint my wheels? They are in dire need of a refurb and will be fine until I get them done professionally. I've done a few sets in the past with more than decent results. Will be fat better than they are at the moment. I was thinking something along the lines of gunmetal centres and silver lip? Anyone any other ideas? Any photochops would be ideal! cheers guys PS : I know those decals need to come off still and the car is very manky and needs a good polish!

Jim_1979 Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 I like them as they are but if I was to spray them then, yeh black for me too;) Very coroded looking (the laquer etc). So I want to do something with them. A good rub down will do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim_1979 Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 Prepping and painting the centres is easy enough. But how much work is involved in the polishing?? (something I've not done before) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 The bolts can break up the Black quite well, heres mine to give you an idea, sorry there a bit gruby, when we get a quiet day we'll do the inner rims Black for the full efect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Mmmm... would prefer bolts same colour as wheel. If you want them all one colour then theres no need to take them apart, shotblast, then powder coat them, polished lips are lots of hassel, if the lips arent too pitted then a good polisher will get them up like new but there very hard to laquer as weve tried several routes with varying results. These were mine after polishing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
