PPKing Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Hey guys, I'm looking at taking the wheels off to paint the rear hubs and front callipers as I think it freshens up the look of the car and little noticeable decals like this stand out! I was just wondering how many of you have done this and what are the strict do's and don'ts of something like this? Any tips? Thanks!

iNath Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I've done it :) Red on front & black on drums. Use a wire brush beforehand and remove all debris first. Don't get any paint on the discs ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HA06ZZA Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 You can have any colour on the front but please paint the drums black :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPKing Posted July 10, 2012 Author Share Posted July 10, 2012 You can have any colour on the front but please paint the drums black :) Thanks for the advice!! Definitely doing the rear drums black, safe bet for sure and will go with anything! The callipers I'm thinking maybe a white or blue to match the base colour. Im thinking of these wheels: http://www.wheelbasealloys.com/17_Inch_Dezent_Motion_2_White_Alloy_Wheels__1783 or http://www.wheelbasealloys.com/17_Inch_100_Plus_Jet_Black_Alloy_Wheels__550 or http://www.wheelbasealloys.com/17_Inch_100_Plus_Monza_R_Black_Alloy_Wheels__529 Im not sure what would look best with the blue colour, I know it would be a pain to look after but im liking the idea of the blue with white wheels and white callipers, or black wheels with blue callipers. I know the different colour wheel choice will completely change the look of the car so hard to decide without 'trying' them on!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HA06ZZA Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Has to be a set of fifteen52's if your going for a set of alloys ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
