Daeron Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 I've thought about painting these rims alot.. I like the black center idea, but I would have tried to find a way to mask the channels off so they maintained their stock coloring. I've also thought about possibly coloring the channels with the right tone of gold, something like what the more standard six spoke 280ZX alloys came with (some of them had gold/aluminum finish, and some were aluminum/aluminum..) Anyhow, it does look sharp! any chance of getting you to post just one nice high res image of one of the wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slownrusty Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Looks great I have always like Swastikas, and yours looks fantastic with them being refurbished. Yasin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSM Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 It does look much better. I've seen them in red before and they look much better painted. What kind of paint did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of paint did you use? yes i will get a hi-res photo up soon, when i take some good pictures during the day and suprisingly i was suggested this paint by one of my co-workers its industrial grade high gloss black rustoleum he painted his motorcycle wheels with them and he said they turned out great, so i tried it and ouala. All 4 wheels, 3 coats in four directions with one can, not bad, not bad at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
