im gettin ready to have my stock 15" wheels painted for winter. i can get any color, all i have to do if find the color i want off of a car and get the color code. im thinkin gettin a silver, i want a readdy flashy, bright silver, or maybe gunmetal, any suggestions.

ps i posted this over at celica.net too so if u already saw it then im sorry.

Are these your only pair of rims? I am asking because why do it right before winter. Winter is bad, enemy, evil to cars. Salt and shizit its going to crap on ur new paint job.

no, look in my sig dude, im only gonna use them for winter, i have 17's on now.

oh well, jeez, just asking.

i kno thats why i answered you

have them powdercoated

have them powdercoated

don't waste the money on powder-coating if they are your winter/back-up wheels. just go to autozone or somethin like that, and get the Dupli-color wheel paint. . they have silver, white, black, gun metal, etc...it's like 5 bucks a can, and you can just spray them yourself and save a couple hundred bucks. .

I'd advise to paint it yourself also, I think there's a How-To on it on the site. I've checked out powdercoating & its a really expensive proposition, I mean big bucks. Even finding someone here to do such a small job was a pain.

well if u want like flashy silver, go with chrome. i dunno if u can have stuff painted chrome tho. but i do know that there is chrome spray paint. i dont know what color Lopez Metallic is, but since that is your car color, it would look cool to have your rims be the same color. or black/gunmetal usually looks good too.

Paint them the same color as your car... and if your just doing this for fun do it yellow and orange.
