Can't Decide on What Color to Paint My Alloys...Inquire within...PICS inside

[Nycxeracer]

Well, I got a nice set of 94-95 ex alloys, pretty frigggin cheap and I want to paint them before I get tires put on them. It's been giving me a migraine attempting to decide what color to pick. I'm just not sure what would look better w/my color car. No one on this site has done this w/the burgundy accord.

Choices so far: Flat Black, Gunmetal. IF you have any other color options or if you like either of those 2 let me know if ya can. Any aesthetic help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. peaCe!

I have a set of 4 obviously. lol.

Some older pics, My side moldings are painted burgundy to match now.

Sparkle did his lude rims in gunmetal, they look hot, he just needs tires and finally put them on.

With the burgundy you could do either dark bronze, flat black or gunmetal...all IMO would look good .

[gzagenius]

yeah man, id do gunmetal definately, itd look real good, i have a marroon 4 door too, and itd look good imho, and how much did you get the rims for?? ive been wantin to get some, but im real low on cash, and i cant really get any ballparks on how much used,stock rims are...

/\ sport bronze




/\ royal bronze





/\gunmetal

Personally sport bronze and gunmetal would look best IMO

My vote has always been for GM. I think Flat black only looks good on larger wheels.

Thanks for the visuals VDR, and thanks guys for the help. BSTED, i was thinking of bronze, but after thinkin about my black out look, i think a darker color might suit it better. But i was juggling bronze for a while.

SO! I painted them tonite, GUNMETAL, 5-6 coats, plus 2 coats of clear coat. So far, I can't tell how i feel to be honest. I think I like them, but its difficult, because they are tire-less and not on my car. As soon as i get em on, ill show some pics for SURE.

boooooo no pics no care

TTIWWOP

Glad you painted them

oK MAJJJJJOR Problems. The paint didn't stick after 24 hours, and simply FLAKED off when my dad's blower walked by them!!! WTF?! I sanded and did everything like it said! WTF!!! im so pissed. Anyone have any clues on wtf i should do.

[Nycxeracer]

UPDATE: I got advice from a paint shop *nice enough to tell me over the phone* to prime them first with this special primer. He said, some wheels dont't stick as easy, use the primer. SO i DID.

Will keep u updated!

REPAINTING IN PROGRESS!!!!

PICS COMING SOON!!!

did you ever get my pm's or email about my wheels? Your inbox was always full. Anyways, did you sand the wheels first? Cuz they look glossy, and if you didnt, the paint will flake off. I had mine painted for over a year, and the only part that is chipped off is from when i accidently hit it w/the tire iron when i was taking off the wheel. I used a 200 grit paper on the power sander, and then 220 wet grit by hand for some harder places.

told ya once and i'll tell ya again, GUN METAL man! Bronze wouldnt look right on your color
