Colour change on Volks (Photoshop needed please)

[glrnet]

Absolutely the right decision regarding the polished finish, my Linea Corse Dynas had polished rims before I had them changed to flat silver at Lepsons. The guy there told me I'd lose a mil or so every time the pitting needed to be machined off. Pearl white for the centres

 

Right chaps........ The car is booked in on Thursday for a refurb. Every refurb shop I went to has told me not to go polished as they are just going to pitt and be a nightmare to keep. So I am going for a chromey style on the lip and I STILL havent decided on the colour for the centers

 

I think am torn between pearl white and an anthracite grey. By all means chip in guys

Cheers Graham, I love the look of the polished rims.... but they are just too much hassle to try and keep especially in the Scottish weather. Hmm I am tempted by the pearl white rims......... ahhhh I just dont know

Chrome If you're worried about them go with a finish like phantom (matt black dish, titanium gunmetal spokes with red stripe around the edge)

 

 

I think white on white is a bit... Odd. Anthracite is just brake dust grey

 

Your name isn't puff daddy is it?

[BulletMagnet]

Chrome Powdercoat on lips? Who told you about that?

Oh good gravy. So it'll have a flat finish but pretend to have some reflection?

 

Do that on boring run of the mill wheels, but not volks

[rtbiscuit]

Black and gold

 

 

black and bronze

 

[Jay]

Hmmm possibly Midnight purple

[rtbiscuit]

 

you can't go purple its on the gay colour spectrum

[Jay]

OH behave yourself big boyyy

[LRF4N]

 

please dont do that

That's actually not bad but think it would def need lowered to pull it off. Grey is the safe option. Funky coloured calipers either way

[rtbiscuit]

i wouldn't go black on the outside, but an anthracite, but couldn't find a picture, this was the closest i could find.

 

i'd also go a darker bronze colour as well

[LRF4N]

Fair enough lol. I think Jay has something else up his sleeve but looks like he's not gonna post it here til it's done

I need to make sure the powder coaters can do it first.... but yeh... not everyone will love the colour I am going for but hey ho....... such as life.

My lips are sealed. It probably will be marmite but I like it

Possibly mate.. possibly.

 

I looked at the chrome powder today.. not sure they will turn out as good as the picture you sent me ... but we can only but hope

[BulletMagnet]

How about asking for this kind of stuff?

[BulletMagnet]

or go silver nitrate (dunno how long it lasts tho)
