Azza Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Hi All! I have new alloys on my car now but i have decided i will refurbish my old ones to sell on. I went out and bought some paints etc to referb it. Here is the wheel with just the plastic primer on it I have metallic silver paint, black paint and blue paint that is a similar colour to the blue on the ford logo. Now i have a few ideas: All involve painting the rest of the wheel matallic silver. 1) Just paint the logo blue and make the grooves making the ford logo silver 2) Do the same as 1) but also paint inside the circle blue 3) Do the same as 1) but paint the 6 rectanges next to the holes black 4) Paint the grooves that make up the word ford blue with/without the black Any other ideas are welcome =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeithC Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Come on people i wanted opinions! =( They're probably worth 30 bob, but with you painting them, that'll probably go down to fifteen bob. My opinion is don't waste your time or money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nipz Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I really wouldnt waste your time either. They will never look good enough to put on a car IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIIIDAA Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I'd be tempted to run the steel rims without caps if they are black... For those trims, if you have time to spend, or potentially waste - there'd be no harm in trying... Spray the circular background bit mat black, the rest high power silver (IF you are good with a can), and dont try and colour in the ford badge at all. This was my first car, fitted some mock alloy hub caps to it Click Me They looked real from a distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIIIDAA Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 From a distance with my eyes closed? yeah yeah (about 20 ft lol) whatever, a young lad has to start somewhere... Oh, and in 1998 the average 17" wheel and tyre package was about £899 and 17's were far less the norm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
