Looks like I wasn't the only one who likes red/blk! I went a bit more extreme than just the lip. They were for autox so I wasn't all about the quality since they'd get chipped anyway. I've since sold them off but seems like I should have posted these 2yrs ago when I actually did them.

^^^props for something different. waaaay different.
I had to look at it for a bit to decide if I liked 'em or not. I think standing still I don't like 'em. but in the autox pictures I think they look great. |

I had 3 wheels done perfect and one I wanted to touch up. 2 were cleared and 2 were not... The two cleared ones look like this: I went to clear the other two a few days ago, and again tonight, and ended up with this: Now I have to strip these two again, and respray primer/color/clear Guess I have to bring them inside between coats to keep them warm eventhough the paint specifies 50-90F as a working temp, and it's 60F out... The clear coat also lightens up the finish color...the non-clear color was much much closer to the cap color pictured above. -- Dave |

I jsut finished a set of BBS's for my winter set up. One had some curb rash so I fixed that:
Then stripped them: Prime with self ethching primer: Then painted : Then mounted them on the car: I did a lot of sanding and prepping in between coats and for my first set I think they came out ok. I'm going to redo them next summer, and maybe go with a darker color. |

Looks like you used acrylic clear on a lacquer base color, or the other way around. Get a clear that is the same (lacquer or acrylic) as your base color and you'll be good to go!!

Very cool! I actually was thinking about doing something like that recently... had no idea what it would look like though. (Now I know). I am undecided if I like them or not. But I too was thinking of doing something wild like that for auto-x or something. It actually might be cool to try it with a different color combination - like two similar colors that are a bit off (like black and grey)... etc. Good job.

Yeah, I think my duplicolor gold wheels are in this thread somewhere, but I wasn't happy with the shade of gold. They are too dark. I'm getting ready to respray them though. I want something a little closer to the glod BBS's.

Does duplicolor also have a white wheel paint? So far I have only seen one with white stock wheels. Anyone have pictures of any more? Maybe paired with WRB?
