Hjalle Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Thinking of this colour for my black ZS. Looks good on Audi's... What y'all reckon? Is that the alloy you are referring to Danny? Its one of my favourite alloys at the moment. My alloy place said they could do the Audi gun metal grey for my Fiesta but Im selling it soon I decided to leave it. I think if you went the Audi gun metal grey but some how incorporated the silver to the alloy it would look sweet as on your black Fiesta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hjalle Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Made a little mock up - couldn't get a decent pic of my car so just used a generic pic. Looks great! Would you go for a matte or a gloss finish? Just speaking thoughts here, but what if you just painted the topside of each spoke and the upper most ring in a matte grey and left the sides and inner rim silver?

Not sure if too tricky? Don't know much about the process Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hjalle Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Matte I reckon. Nice thinking... Not sure if too tricky? Don't know much about the process Matte would be spot on in my opinion - its what makes the Audi alloy I don't know much either, but from what I understand you'd sand down the whole alloy first, mask the silver bits and apply the grey, bake/ let dry, mask the grey apply the silver, bake, apply gloss to the silver bits and then remove the masking from the matte, or skip the gloss all together - a bit like painting a wall haha it might cost a bit more due to the work involved but it would look out of this world! Im seriously coming around to doing this myself now, but I don't think it would be a worthwhile investment come resale time in 6 months. I would just be throwing cash away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
