SupraStar 3000 Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 Great. Try a darker red on the wheels Ed. just a tad darker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 btw, anyone remember the name of that plastic coat paint for wheels? Plastikote, or Plasticote, or Plasticoat IIRC. just a tad darker. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=144341&d=1326461299 Much betterer. I really like that.

AndrewOW Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 agreed looks much better although i'd go ever so slightly darker still Possibly, but if Ed decides on Plasti-kote, then the red is this http://www.paintsprays.co.uk/catalog/images/plasti-kote_outdoor_spray_paint.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I think your wheels are too busy, you need a simpler design to pull it off with a more agressive offset so the polished lip takes more focus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastcar Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 just a tad darker. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=144341&d=1326461299 Looks a lot better in the darker red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the shade, i'm having great difficulty saving the pic then uploading to the website without the limited jpeg colours screwing with the tone. Trust me, looks a lot more subtle on my screen.

fastcar Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Why is a white supra really appealing to me all of a sudden. Never really look at white before but these sups are making me think hard about what colour to get my sup resprayed in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never really look at white before but these sups are making me think hard about what colour to get my sup resprayed in hah hah i was the same. When looking at colours for the respray i was dead set on gold, but after seeing a few white Supras, Brads car and then a RX7 at Jurgens, i was converted to White. Just be careful as a few shades can turn yellow. TIP: A hint of blue makes whiter than white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibrar Jabbar Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Yes please mate. Would very much appreciate that. I can't remember but did you say Racingheart C4r's could be spit? RacingHart C4r's are welded split rim so cannot be taken apart, here's a pic of some club linea split rims I am working on with candy red centers, gloss white lips and black barrels.

SupraStar 3000 Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 that looks amazing mate. Is there any way my racinghearts could be done in a similar way? How did you originally refurbish them for me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibrar Jabbar Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 that looks amazing mate. Is there any way my racinghearts could be done in a similar way? How did you originally refurbish them for me? It would be very difficult to do on the RH's as the powder coating process is done in 3 stages and masking the rim after it's been coated white would prove difficult. There is another way of doing them by wet painting the lip but may not be as durable. How did you originally refurbish them for me? LOL, I don't remember.

SupraD06 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 The ones Scott has posted look awsome, i do like the deep colour of the ones Ibrar has posted, but im not a fan of the white lip, only my opinion though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 how much and where from Scott? Unfortunately I have no idea mate. I just stumbled across the image during a random google search. The lips look like they're anodised I'm pretty sure they are, not 100% though as some colours can be a little misleading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Pretty small and crappy Ed. http://www.ioffer.com/i/15-triligy-red-4-lug-wheels-mr2-scion-xa-xb-jetta-rims-474619740 Gives you an idea of what you could do and what sort of style to go for though.
