buster Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 looking for pics of the rays wheels paint and fitted on a sunset car. thinking of painting mine in a dark grey possible but need to see what it would look like do for going ahead. Quote
Stew Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Jay and nurrish both did wheels black. DIY too.... They weren't rays but you'd have to be no imagination boy to not get the idea! Quote
Jay Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 DIY Job Pro Job Hope this helps slightly, so you can see darker wheels look like on a zed. Use your imagination lol Quote
cleggr Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 i was thinking bout doing this too. Powder coating isn't it called or something? When i didn't clean the car for a few weeks and the wheels were caked in brake dust, they looked quite cool. Can you do it and let me know how you get on.... i'm too scared Quote
Rob_Quads Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 i was thinking bout doing this too. Powder coating isn't it called or something? Powercoating is different to painting. It invovles firing powder at the wheel while its got electricity flowing making the powder sit on the wheel. Its then baked to melt the powder into a smooth shiny finish. Powder coating is much more resiliant than painting Quote
marzman Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 I did mine with a red lip recently. Not rays though: http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=21587&start=0 Quote

madhops87 Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 Im planning on doing this when I have the funds. Im thinking anthracite or pewter. Quote
JDM Lover Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 I bought nurrish's old standard wheels which he painted black himself - did a damn good job too! After trying 3 other sets of wheels (chrome, standard silver, GT4) I've settled on these - dunno what you guys think but I think they look great on a sunset roadster....[attachment=0]DSC00375.JPG[/attachment] Quote
Ian Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 I prefer the 6spokes over the Rays TBH. The black looks great against the Ginger Quote
