they arent flat black like a chalkboard or primer, but they aren't glossy either. They are right in between.


Thats sick! We got my Del Sol sprayed olive green this weekend. It looks like it will be similar color to yours maybe a tad darker. I can't wait to paint my wheels black to finish it off. :thumb:

Im gonna do this at the weekend although my wheels have been sprayed before by the last owner and the paint is all bubbling and peeling so I want to remove all of it and bring them to bare metal before starting... whats the best way to do this without scratching the hell out of them???

I have nice OEM wheels so want these to look new again :eekdance:

You'll want a slightly scuffed surface though so the new paint will have something to bite to :thumb:

- Tue Jun 22, 2010 9:34 pm #201596 is there much benefit to waiting till the tyres are off to do this? I dont want the nitromors to mess up my tyres... has anyone used nitromors on wheels? is it actually that bad for tyres??

The paint choices look amazing, not just the colors but the texture of the wheels makes the car look very clean. Not all flashy and "blinged" out.
