Title: rim colour choice. ( with pics)
Post by: stainesy on 10 February 2012, 07:58: ok started to polish my rims this week and realised the kurb rash is to deep to polish out on a couple of them so i am going to fill and paint them instead.

have narrowed down a few colours i think look ok.
what do you guys recon looks best?
these are not spot on the perfect colurs as photoshop elements only has a few preset colours but you get the idea.
plus im sh!t at photoshop.

standered silver

black (not to keen myself) and yeah i no its a bad photoshop. had to do them red then darken to black

blue and would do the inside of the spokes white (i think works good with car colour)

bronze (should be able to find a better bronze in paint)

orange (i think look wicked but not sure if its to much chavy)

Post by: stainesy on 10 February 2012, 15:47: this is what i am thinking on the blue.
between the spokes there is like a 5mm to 10mm bit that is dark grey.
im thinking maybe do the inside of the spokes white and the faces baby blue.

this is a really bad photoshop pic but im crap at it but you get what im trying to say :grin:
or i could do this with any 2 colour combination.
