sigh, plasdtidip... so i could strip it when im bored or ready to sell the rims...


ive seen some plastdip rims that look good

im nlot leaning to GUNMETAL but i know thats gonna be hard

the dip can be temp... until im sure or change the rims

maybe i could frost them and have a little shine come through...

something like this



and this is with metaliser

 

That would look pretty good. also helps you avoid the shamu theme LOL

 

How is this urgent. A heart attack is urgent.

Paint every set you have in flat black to hide the wheel designs STAT. And stay away from 22's.

 

If you use metalizer the chrome will show through giving it a shiny finish. Personally I would do their new vintage gold, or anthracite

 

yeah i love the anthracite note sure if i can get it locally, but if the design sucks id rather spray the second set, i think theyd look good in bronze, these are them on my friends car...



hopefully by then i could sell these on the car and get some staggered 20s

 

it's your car, do what you like, all of us don't have to see it/drive it every day. You are bound to have people who don't like your car, especially with unpopular style/type of rims like yours, so just do what you'll enjoy.

 

never hurts to get advice/opinions especoally from those with more experience, thats why alot of us are here, if not no one would ask opinions...

but thanks for the reply

 

Good advice... No chrome and no 22's.
So seems like you're going in the right direction.

 

Are you on coilovers?

 

Since you are already going with a semi blacked out look (with your tail lights and rain guards), I would go for a mate black or even the gunmetal. It will make a nice contrast and be easy to keep clean compared to the other color combinations that you are looking into.

Nice 3000GT in the background

 

NO, stock suspension, I plan to cut the front springs and rear spring mount until I order some springs

 

Thanks man, good advice, I've since detinted the rear lights and indicators and hope to get rid of the visors soon, still not sure whether to white out all the chrome or blacken it, or just leave it... LOL

I think I'll better know what to do after I lower the car, I might end up liking the rim design more, hopefully they look bigger, if not I'll try the second set back on, and experiment with colours on those until I buy back a set of staggered like I got the car with

 

oh god...

 

Yeah I was waiting on that... LOL, I can't just go to a store and buy springs in Jamaica man... And right now the taking off look is killing me, so I'm gonna take them off and cold cut them, about a coil or less, and proudly post pics

Lol

 

Oh god...

Make sure to measure how much lower you want it to be... and if you drop it too much be prepared to pay for a fender roll... or bring out the heat gun and baseball bat.
