Brescias... in black?!
« on: 08 October 2019, 18:31 »
Hey,

Does anybody have any pictures of any 19" Brescia's in black, preferably on the car? I'm toying with the idea of having mine sprayed, but I've never actually seen it done before and wanted to know how It would look on a black GTI.

Also, whilst I'm here, any pics of any fully blacked out GTI's would be much appreciated :)

Cheers! :smiley:

Never been a black of alloys as you tend to lose the detail and design.

I am for the first time currently running black OZ Superleggera's but that's only because they came like that but will refurb them (or sell them lol).

I'd like to darken mine, but not sure about that dark. I might go for gunmetal

I’d definitely go gunmetal / anthracite. That’s what my Rays are on my 3er and think they look superb.
About as dark as I’d like to go generally.

Was going to PlastiDip, with a glossifier, but I think I might save up for powder coating as the white worm has gotten horrendous. Only trouble is, I'm on PCP.... will P/C cause a problem on handback? (If I so choose to)

If you are on PCP then I can only assume they may have an issue with them being refinished different to stock. Although I’ve never had a car on PCP so don’t know for sure.

Plastidip would be a good way to do it though as you can easily peel it off I believe.
