I've an idea, crackle glaze day glo with either powdercoated or polished lip would look pimp :cool:

Satin Black matt over Saturn yellow gloss paint.... Can decide if polished lip would be too much though.

I still dunno what i'm gonna do yet...

But... i've just dropped 1 rim off to the polishers to have just the lip polished, i'll have a looksy when it's done and probably make a decision on what to do with the centres then... :laugh:.


My golf is  red by the way... :smiley:

This could be the route i go, it does sound good... :smiley:. doubt i'll powder coat um tho, just adds to much cost, a bit of paint'll do me..

Whats the best way to get the crackle effect..do the paint come in a can and go on like it or is it a technique to it.

Nice 1...

Wouldn't loose it in the carpark though, and if you got dinged they couldn't say they didn't see you :grin:
