Thread: Pick My Wheel Colour!

  1. #1

    Cool Pick My Wheel Colour!

    Help me decide what colour to paint my BBS RXs! I can't decide. Options would be a satin black with a gold & black centrecap or diamond silver with a silver & black centrecap.

    Heres a comparison

    Fluro! Seriously though, the silver looks much better. Since they aren't very concave, the gold just looks kind of flat IMO. I think it was @Caffeine Fiend who had some rx8 rims powder-coated in a gunmetal silver which looked great.

    Yeah the black is a little... ghetto. Haha.

    Here we go. Wasn't gunmetal but 'shadow chrome' http://www.ozmpsclub.com/forum/showpost.php?p=217376

    That looks really nice but I think I'd rather go with something lighter such as the attached. Though I think this effect may be difficult to achieve. What do you think?

    Presumably you could just powder coat or paint it in a silver and maybe vary the clear coat to get it glossy or flat?

    I think the way caffeine fiend did it you start with a darker base and add as many coats of silver as you like to get the right shade, but still keeping the 'depth' of colour.

    I think I'd get mine professionally done as I don't trust myself with a spraygun haha. I'll see what my painter recommends.
