Guigsy Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Decided my silver wheels were a bit boring. I wasnt sure what colour to go with. i have had mat black before and they were too dark for my car (storm blue) i almost went with flourescent pink for lolz but decided on something a bit more sensible and wondered what you thaught so far. Sanded them down quickly, couple of coats of white plasticoat gloss paint. then decided to do the rim in red metalic plasticoat paint (pot so did it by hand) The red needs another coat and some finishing touches to clean up rough edges. but i like it. Im also going to do the toyota symbol on the hub caps in red but i dont have a small enough brush Then after all that is done i have a pearl effect clear coat to apply which ive tested and gives a nice shean on everything. Heres a quick phone snap, bit blury and hides some of the areas that still need some work but you get the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guigsy Posted August 10, 2010 Author Share Posted August 10, 2010 Finished up today. decided to repeat the white and do the red again. Thanks to evinX for the tip to use electrical tape so it goes arround corners better This is with the pearl coat on. It looks a bit yellow in real life imo. Its hard to get on the photos but here are some quick ones off my phone. The other wheel is just white at the moment so not much to see there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guigsy Posted August 10, 2010 Author Share Posted August 10, 2010 (edited) decided the pearl coat didnt look good. so have to do that wheel again. other one looks good though. decided to not bother with the red toyota badge also. While i had it masked off i was useing black tape along the inside lip edge... looked great but cant be bothered Edited August 10, 2010 by Guigsy (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
