HipsterDoofus Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Being a husband and father and so on and so forth, I'm not able to run amok with the credit card and just do what I want to do. So says the wife. Looking at the custom mod thread, I saw the DIY paint job for wheels and said "Im gonna do that." But I cant figure out what color would go best. A large part of me kind of wants to do it white. Friend said yellow. I think yellow would just look tacky as hell. And for gods sake, no gold. What do you think? What have you seen and said, "Goddamn, thats fresh as hell!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HipsterDoofus Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 Really? I had thought of that, but figured it would be too dark for the already dark green color of the car..... photochop might be needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gire Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Charcoal / Gunmetallic Grey. Or check out 'hyperblack' wheels on wheeldude dot com to see that finish. I love it. A nice alternative to straight black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRS Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Not on a wheel, but here's an example of the results I got using Dupli-Color Wheel Coating, graphite color, and a top coat of their clear (emblem was originally chrome): http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b380/TRS60586/SX4/MISC/DSCN0366-1-1.jpg (larger image http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b380/TRS60586/SX4/MISC/DSCN0366-1.jpg) I also came across these a few days ago: http://www.autobodytoolmart.com/images/PRODUCT/large/champ-8089-rim-maskers.gif AutoBodyToolMart.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HipsterDoofus Posted July 26, 2009 Author Share Posted July 26, 2009 ^ that's deep dish baby! I'm digging the deep dish. Actually, so much in fact that I'm no longer going to paint my rims, I shall mod 4 pizza pans to fit my wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A nice alternative to straight black. Hyperblack is kind of fresh. But your suggestion of charcoal grey/Gunmetal wins out. Now, I tell the wife....

You're right Black does look the best Although, the first one, white, that was my original plan and it doesn't look bad at all.
