So, I've decided to get him to spray all four wheels 2 pack Gloss black, after Christmas... He's more than happy to do it. I'll help with the rubbing down and masking etc. :victory:
I am not a huge fan of the blacked out look, but I think it will be a nice way of personalising my car. :happydance:
I might do a photoshop of one of my pictures a bit later and add it to this thread.

Or... :D I think black chrome would go well on a red car but it would be awkward having to get the tyres removed - wheels prepped and chromed then tyres refitted.

Any chrome on the SR? Blacken those off too to make it look uniform. They have some businesses around here that do everything from badges to wheels. My son was looking into it as he wants to get his Audi done.
Very little Chrome on the SR so I am pretty sure the black will work. There is a red FD CW on the coast with Black alloys which I have often admired.

Am I guessing correctly that it was you? :snigger:
Dazz, why not do them in black plasti dip first and see if the look is what you're after, if you like it then get ya mate to do the professional job at a later date.

You know me Craig. Black chrome would look ace, but out of my mate doing it for the cost of the paint or doing black chrome for $1000+ I'm sure you'd know which one I'd choose. Will do photoshop later today, but I'm confident Black will be fine. Don't think I'll bother with a trial run...

I don't like black wheels. I think the new i30 looks great as it is. Black wheels are a current fashion which will soon be abandoned.
I've actually said the same thing about the black wheel trend in the past Alan. However, because the PD has the black centre cap I think the all black wheels are an improvement in this instance. Even pre the current trend, which doesn't seem to be abating over here anyway, I have liked the look of black wheels on a red car.
@CraigB don't fall over with shock mate, but I think I actually agree with you for once about going satin rather than gloss. :eek:

Hi Jayce,
We will take the wheels off the car (obviously) but just mask the tyres.
My mate reckons with me helping to prep (rub down) the wheels and mask up the tyres and stuff (under supervision) it shouldn't take more than half a day (so around 4 hours)
Automotive "2 pack" paint dries very quickly.

@The Gonz -Good point, I'll just spray that sectiion with plasti-dip (much cheaper. :victory:
Post by: Dazzler on January 08, 2018, 07:54:48
The overspray through to the back of the rim looked patchy but instead of spraying the back blsck i just brushed that with some dark grey hammertone paint which was ideal. It's jacked up in the before shot and sitting up a bit in the aftwr shot after sitting on stands most of the day.
The repaired wheel is perfect. You wouldn't pick it. :victory:

Thanks craig it is ironic because like Alan I haven't really been into the black wheels trend, but it works with those black centre caps and black trim on the SR non-premium. I wouldn't be at all surprised if hyundai does a run with the black wheels like they did with the Trophy (sort of black chrome)

Yeah, the clear coat would definitely help provided it didn't start to peel like clear coat can in some circumstances. One of the reasons my mate recommended the two pack is that it doesn't deteriorate like most normal paint does...
