letmeshowyou Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I bought these a few weeks ago with the intention of having them refurbed, but then had an absolute nightmare finding anyone who would do a 2 colour refurb. Anyway... I've now found someone who will do it, but I'm undecided on what colours to go for. My gf reckons I should have the refurb done but leave them in the colours they are. I was kind of thinking of just having the lips done in silver and leaving the middles alone, but then I really liked a car at Pod on saturday that had polished lips and a gold centre. What would everyone else do? Anyone any good with photoshop that fancies putting up a few options? My car is black btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letmeshowyou Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 Lisa's best friends husband is doing them (he's a sprayer). No-one (not even Rochford tyres) would do a two colour refurb because of the effort involved in masking as the dish is so deep. They also told me polishing wasn't an option so it would have to be a painted lip (albeit in silver), worth giving them a call about your ones though edd (save yourself a bit of time by mailing them a pic first to [email protected]) I'm moving towards the idea of black centres now though...

Bobbeh Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Black with chrome lip, or gunmetal center, or in Blitz silver for the best of both worlds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R Black Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 You just pipped me those alloys. If i had won them i wanted the lip chromed, however on your car probably black centres, would look better. Good luck fella. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmeshowyou Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 Edd I can ask him about doing more if you like (although like I said it looks like polishing is out the window) R Black - cheers matey when you say chromed were you thinking of actual chrome?

kslb Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I have just got these and IMO it is the colour combo for a black supe. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letmeshowyou Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 I've decided on dark cranberry pearl for the centres (it's purple-ish so dark it's practically black) with the outers in silver. Can't wait to get them back now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
