Guest Phillw454 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Im thinking about doing my wheels black (opinions welcome) But i was wondering if anyone has tried it before? any advice or specific paint? Was just going to go for a mettalic black, would it be worth a white undercoat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Anthracite would be a good idea, black wheels always seem to disapear in the way they look especially gloss black, maybe matt black wudnt be too bad but i definately stick to anthracite.

MONKEYmark Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 i got envy to do my stock wheels and a set of 19`s done in black years ago.i like them on silver car. the stock wheels were a dull finish.the 19`s came out a smooth shiny surface that were easy to clean.

Il need to get some black mesh upfront to match aswell My car started near enough identical to yours. You'll want to get some facelift rear lights (£100) they make the rear of the car look much better. Then I refurbed the front lights and sprayed the inners black to make them look facelift. Then bought a front bumper for £200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
