To paint, or not to paint (black snowflakes)

[Benfolio]

Made this in photoshop. Tried to keep the color close to the side sills. I like it. Goes with the whole red/black theme I got goin on..... and the board theme! :lol:

Should I, or shouldn't I?

[HeresMyMind]

You mean wheels? Not painting the lip/sills. Gonna paint the wheels black. Maybe. Someday.

Looks pretty good. If you like it, that's all that matters.

I approve, if you can get them to match the side skirts it will be even better. Ofcourse you could also just use the same paint on the side skirts used on the wheels to achieve that.

i ment paint them gloss black, then change ur sideskirts/lip to match your car in the red.

I dunno, I like the two tone.

we painted 2 sets of snowflakes flat black, one stayed that way and the others got painted bronze...

flat black looks 100000000x better in real life on those... do it!

(we used grill paint) held up for over a year (in VA snow/salt) then got sold, but seriously.... do it!!!

I like the black, and it goes with your theme. You can always paint them back to whatever you want anyway. Do it!

But definitely a flat or bumper black, NOT gloss!
That loks sick. :smt023

I vote fix the rust before you paint wheels.

Naw, that's part of the theme! :lol:

[BlackBK]

Black only if you tint the windows....

[Benfolio]

If I paint them black I'm gonna WANT to tint the windows. Damn money pit. :mad:

I think it looks really good. I've been thinking of doing the same to mine. I was wondering tho. What's the best paint and clear coat to use?
