Stew Posted May 25, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cleggr Posted May 28, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Quads Posted May 28, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madhops87 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Im planning on doing this when I have the funds. Im thinking anthracite or pewter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDM Lover Posted May 28, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I prefer the 6spokes over the Rays TBH. The black looks great against the Ginger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
