DarmoZ Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Wheels getting refurb, then base painted and hydro dipped. Need help deciding on the base paint and film, I want to stand out and be unique, so couple combinations I have in mind so far are: 1:) Smoked Grey / Anthracite base with Galaxy film: https://dipthis.co.uk/shop/galaxy/ 2:) Green base with Royal Graffiti: https://dipthis.co.uk/shop/royal-graffiti-2/ or with: Cash Cow: https://dipthis.co.uk/shop/cash-cow/ 3:) White base with Polka Dots lol: https://dipthis.co.uk/shop/polka-dot-4/ Open to suggestions and opinions Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
DarmoZ Posted November 17, 2015 Author Posted November 17, 2015 FYI currently they look like this not sure what the base color is but the film is Royal Graffiti: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Payco Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Sorry pal.All of the above just don't do it for me but will be interested in seeing what you end up with. 1 Quote
DarmoZ Posted November 17, 2015 Author Posted November 17, 2015 Lol I know they are a bit 'out there' too many options! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Jay Kay Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Just don't get them powder coated. Paint, not powder Quote
Jetpilot Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) I presume I know what the answer is, but there is nothing at all wrong with powder coat, 1000's and 1000's of wheels are powdercoated P.s all the above look absolutely gash and by far the most chavtastic thing i have ever seen, but its your car, your choice Edited November 17, 2015 by Jetpilot Quote
zebedy Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Go wild. May as well. Its your car, do as you wish. I like the first one. Quote
GMballistic Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I can't say any of those do it for me either just like Payco. Plenty more choices though here if you do decide to do something different from the ones above; https://www.aquagraphix.co.uk/product-category/film/ Quote
DarmoZ Posted November 17, 2015 Author Posted November 17, 2015 It will be paint not powder. I've seen the horror stories of powder coat process on GT4 alloys hmm different was my aim but not chavy, will have a re-think. Thanks for the link Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Hell presidente Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I like them and I'm definitely not a chav, that just seems to be the 'go to' response for beige people. Quote
Jetpilot Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Far from beige, I would say my last 350 was testament to that Quote
Hell presidente Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Far from beige, I would say my last 350 was testament to that A pic would help I see chav get bounded about a lot though for stuff that really isn't, just a bit different. Quote
Jetpilot Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 There is a whole build thread somewhere, fill your boots Quote
DarmoZ Posted November 18, 2015 Author Posted November 18, 2015 Well the last two days Iv had the standard 350z non ray alloys back on the car, and I must admit Silver ain't bad on this car. Now starting to think Hyper Silver with Royal Graffiti. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Ricey Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 You want hello kitty mate ;-) Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote
DarmoZ Posted November 18, 2015 Author Posted November 18, 2015 Hahaha my GF actually got excited at that idea, but I think I'll pass lol. After some research I discovered Royal Graffiti comes in a Silver and will look awseom on a dark base like gloss black. Here is what it looks like on different colors (Google image find) I think the silver will really stand out on a dark wheel, and the silver also matches the car Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
DarmoZ Posted November 18, 2015 Author Posted November 18, 2015 Here it is: Silver on Black Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Payco Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Rims either make or break a cars look in my view or at least play a major part so you need to get it right whatever your taste is. Quote
Ricey Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 For me.....on a show car or at least a car you're going to take to shows.....royal graffiti works. Everyday road car your going need to be a serious baller to pull it off. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk 1 Quote
DarmoZ Posted February 26, 2016 Author Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) Time to buy a baller cap then 😅 Edited February 26, 2016 by DarmoZ Quote
Ricey Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Cool as you like that mate. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk 1 Quote
GMballistic Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Ruined.. ...nah I'm just kidding DarmoZ. Not bad, not bad at all. Keep doing it how you like. 1 Quote
ZEUS Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 They have been really well done, weather it's to my taste or not .....well that doesn't really matter Quote
Ricey Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 For me this mod actually is the core of modding.......It absolutely divides opinion. Dipped wheels can look garbage.....I have dipped wheels and they look garbage. But that's because the only film I had lying around when tarting my car up was a crappy carbon. I'm genuinely blow away by these. They look very classy. It's real easy to go very chav with wheels especially when hydrodipping. That said someone else will hate them......which is essentially the perfect mod Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk 1 Quote
BobbyZ Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 They look kinda cool as a piece of artwork, but I wouldn't put them on a car in a million years. To each their own though, as many have said already Quote
