chriscourt215 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Yoo, ive got standard Silver Ford Alloy as you can see in the pic.. To save abit of money and so i dont have to declare it to my insurers (im 20, so adding alloys bumps up the price -_- ) i was thinking about having my alloys refurbished and sprayed black. Has any one ever done this, will it look good? People have said if you hit a kerb then the paint will come off, well tbh 1. wont be hitting kerbs and 2. even with black alloy you can still see the dents.... Pic below is of current alloys.

b1g_dav3 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 As long as they're the ones that came with the car, they shouldn't be an issue with the insurance company, but best to ask. Powder coat if you can, lasts much longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean2390 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 For me, black on black just doesn't work. alloys are a show piece! Choose a colour that will show them off, like white! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriscourt215 Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 Im going for an all black look. Ive tinted my rear lights and going to get windows done too. Standing out can be a good thing but not sure white ones will look good. They might come across abit 'chavy' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Minty Jupe Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 dont go black as they will blend in with the car to much go for a gun metal or a dark grey ! im picking my new 18" ST wheels i got off eBay on monday just had them refurbed and painted sea grey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ_sXe Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I contacted my insurer Admiral about painting my 16" Titanium alloys gloss black and they had no issues with it, no premium increase, nothing, as long as I DECLARED it to them. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1g_dav3 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Anthracite is always a nice colour to go on any car :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
