DoogyRev Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 A darker Blue would look better, the only Blue on a black car I can find...... Quote

Jetpilot Posted March 24, 2013 Author Posted March 24, 2013 Oh no! Now I have something to think about! Really appreciate the image Quote
Ceejay29 Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 I think they are lovely wheels, refurb with different colour and your onto a winner Quote
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 I would keep them, They are sweet wheels, not sure on what colour to recommend though, probably purple Quote

Jay Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Purple is the way forward. My volk gts are midnight purple in the centres and chrome powder coated rims. Quote
Jetpilot Posted March 25, 2013 Author Posted March 25, 2013 Purple is the way forward. My volk gts are midnight purple in the centres and chrome powder coated rims. How does the chrome powdercoat look in the flesh buddy? Any close up photos? Quote
Jay Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 All the pics I have are from a fairly dull day sorry. I think the chrome powder coat was defo worth getting done as you dont have to worry as much about looking after them as you once did when they were polished. I will say this. BulleMagnet recently got his wheels chrome powder coated and his do look shinnier lol. 1 Quote
Dave-350 Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Problem with the Chrome powder coat is that once you laqcuer it, it becomes silver... You could leave the chrome power coat unlaqcuered but that is a test that I am currently doing! Quote

You could leave the chrome power coat unlaqcuered but that is a test that I am currently doing! I know a powdercoater and he advised that if items are left without any kind of lacquer its lacks any uv inhibitors so will dull/fade over time, he then pointed out a set of alloys he had done in the car park owned by someone else on the same industrial estate and they looked very patchy after a couple of years. The lips is such a difficult one, you cant beat polished alloy and even with quality sealing/polish products they do need care above and beyond a painted or powdercoat lip. If you wet lacquer over the top after time you end up with those horrible white worms where the water gets underneath any little defect or chip. Clear anodizing also dulls the finish but is perhaps the most protective and maintenance free coating. Not heard a lot of good things about actual chrome plating on alloy, but it is another option i guess. Quote
Jetpilot Posted March 25, 2013 Author Posted March 25, 2013 Been over to my sprayer today and he showed me a House of Kolor kandy purple http://www.dorbritzdesigns.com/2011_08_01_archive.html Quote
Jay Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Very nice indeed, it is like a brighter cadburys purple..... Quote
