Blood Red candy goes well with black , probably as good with white.

 

I have just bought some of that paint in neon yellow to do my spare set of wheels ,think it will look ok on my red car .

 

I'm going with orange :-D

 

I've started....

A shop in Nottm that sells Graffiti Spray paint in 400ml cans at only £3.30 a can.. they do Florescent Orange. I asked the guy if its ok for alloy wheels and he said it sticks to anything so alloys should be a problem, he went onto say ppl buy off him and spray their whole car!

Will be interesting how this paint is, with it being fast drying and Matt finish it should look good on my white car.

So I bought some of the white base coat...



Then picked up some of these...


and started rubbing my blue wheels down today.. only managed one before it started raining lol



once all wheels are rubbed down I'll start spraying. :P

 

them wheels been painted more times than Joan Collins finger nails

looking forward to seeing finished items

 

Just think with the amount of sets of standard wide track STi wheels you have, aern't you tempted to give it ago???

 

finally allowed to get on my wheels this weekend, so Saturday I finished off rubbing the last three alloys down and today I taped up and sprayed them in the white matt finish ready to apply the top coats of florescent orange..... next weekend







used some paint tins to keep the ally off the gravel drive




coverage of this stuff is excellent, I've got it to cover in one go. The beauty of this graffiti paint is it's ability to cover.




We'll have to see how it dries before I put the finish coats of Matt Florescent Orange on.
My though is this graffiti artist paint will go on any surface, is fast drying and should come off and you always hear the council and train companies saying how hard it is to remove

I won't put putting as much on the inside part of the rim as opposed to the main face of the alloy.

At £3.30 a can I'm not going to worry if I need another rattle can though

 

They're still getting done quicker than anything on my car. Looking forward to seeing the finished result

 

you'll have to wait a few days yet lol

 

i would have gone with a burnt orange rather than too bright an orange

 

Florescent orange looks good. Ive seen it done on white STi

 

 

Looks good. What colour is it?

 

cool as a penguins b****cks mate

 

burnt orange lol

 

change of plan.


looking at Bright Orange like the KTM colour.




I'll explain once they are done

 

Orange or Deep Orange

 

Big FAIL and a change of plan.

i started to spray my base coat with florescent orange the other night. just did the inside outter rim... looked awesome so I nipped inside to get my camera.. came out to find it all crackling up!!!!! it had softened up the under lying coat/s of paint too.

SO... did no more than sweet talk Jo into letting me have them blasted and re powdercoated She said she didn't know why I hadn't had them done before!!
:doh:


So dropped the alloys off at a local alloy refurbish place near me and I've said I want a bright orange.. etc .. etc...
so now having them done professionally in this colour...




ScoobyNet Orange ?? lol

 

It's about the right shade for SN orange, Phil.

Really need to pull my finger out and get my new - to me - winter wheels sorted.

 

tango orange or

 

done, picked up this afternoon and they fitted too. really pleased

Ended up going to TOTAL WHEEL WORKS in Nottm (quite near me really)

dropped off Wednesday afternoon, and two days later I now look all awesome for winter

 

Spot on. Looks great pal

 

Nice how long it take you? Did mine in gloss black took ages

 

After a big FAIL on doing them myself (even though I've been fine the last two years doing it as a DIY project) I couldn't be bothered to carry on with them so took them to be done professionally.

RAL2009 colour.. like KTM orange

 

Couldn't have orange wheels on my car for winter, would clash with the red brake calipers.

Looks alright, Phil.

Wait until you see my winter wheels. They'll be staying silver until next year now though.

 

Looking very cool mate, it's good to be different.

 

looks wicked, gives me an idea of how my 18" winters are going to look sort of.

 

Looking good planning any fancy graffiti with the cans you didn't use?

 

no, but if you want them....

 

What colour would you reckon for these Phil?



Orange is a no, as like I said a few posts up, it'll clash with my red calipers.
