going to respray my wheels on my classic impreza and wanted peoples opinion on a colour scheme. my shell is silver with black spoiler and vents and was thinking of going with a nice dayglow colour perhaps. any suggestions folks?

 

Dayglow on a track/race car works, on a road car you look like a ****.

 

dayglow pink

 

i was toying with the idea of a medium shade green perhaps?

 

or a bright red

 

Mazda 11b it's a bronze sort of like color.

 

thanks ill check that out

i like it, not quite gold but like a tarnished bronze colour.

 

I have considered going a bright orange with mine but the only trouble with these kinds of colours on road cars is that few can actually get away with it.

I don't think red on a silver car will work by the way, just my opinion that is.

The bronze style you have linked looks pretty good or you could go with a more standard shade silver or grey but with a clear coat with flecks in it to make them a little different......

How much money have you got???

 

Yeah it's quite similar to the Volks racing bronze.

 

Bright colours look $hit, end of. If it can't be pulled off on a Veyron supersport, it sure as hell can't be pulled off on a subaru.

 

try bmw anthracite metalic, done the wheels on the wifes silver ibiza gti this colour, and mirrors fog surrounds and boot spoiler, looks well smart imho

 

i am going to be spraying and laquering them myself in my workshop so only have to fork out for the paint. i do like the mazda bronze alot but keep getting drawn to silly dayglow colours. i am also about to lower it this weekend by 40mm if thatl help with visualising it.

 

Give the dayglow a try using plasti dip then if you don't like
it just peel it off.

 

I've got my paint from these in Nottm...

its graffiti spray paint, they guy said it will go on anything, so I'll give it a try on my alloys... florescent Orange.... 400ml can is only £3.30

 

GT3 RS gets away with it quite well I think but you are right, it doesnt work on most cars. I dont mind the veyron orange though.

 

awsome :-)

 

thanks, that is a good idea. i will have a look into plastidip when i get a chance then.

 

£14 a can!

 

This ^^^^^^^^!

 

i sprayed my wheels today. will get some photos up as soon as i can :-)

 

i went with satin red in the end, sprayed them myself in my workshop today and i think the body has just enought black on it to work with the red. it took me most of the day to finish them and am quite happy with the final results. anything was better than the manky, badly painted and scuffed wheels that was on it when i got it. il get some pics up tomorrow for some opinions.

Manky!!! lol proper midlands word that lol

 

What did you go for in the end?

 

This unfortunately

Holy ****!

 

this is what it looked like when i first picked it up as my 1st car on a budget 4 months ago...






this is what it looks like now after spending around £35 on paint and some time up the garage and i think its a vast improvment.

 

The biggest improvement there is loosing the graffics, looses those horrid chav rear lights as well and your on the right road.

 

honestly i wud prefer stock rear lights but as they was fitted when i picked it up im stuck with them untill i find a standard set

 

What your looking for are STI clear ones.
