badbaz Posted June 10, 2009 Author Posted June 10, 2009 Stu, hate to think you're sitting around twiddling your thumbs did you find the photos with the yellow wheels at all?
stum450n Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Stu, hate to think you're sitting around twiddling your thumbs did you find the photos with the yellow wheels at all? Well I spent hours searching and found nothing mate I'm afraid... Then I went back on midland-scoobies and found this! It's the car I was on about, just not my pics! Dude, do it!

Congrats on the job dude, that's brilliant news!!! Well done! Is it the one you mentioned at your old place? Oh, and I've not got any OSC stickers but I know the big man does... he MAY even have something in the wheel dept too but you'll have to ask him about that one!

badbaz Posted June 11, 2009 Author Posted June 11, 2009 Cheers Stu It does look good, when I first posted I wondered what yellow would look like. It certainly works on that one! If the coating could match the graphics exactly then I'd certainly be tempted. Who knows if wheels can be painted with something that lasts? Rather than powder coated I mean! Thanks for looking it up!
gc8-r Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 ive had a set of oz sprayed by a body shop,they looked very nice but!!!!!!were very expensive to do . i payed 50 for bead blasting then 240 for them to be sprayed,. so in the long run p/coating is the cheap way,but dont have the colours that you can get from any b/shop. as they could match it spot on...

Did the paint work stand up to brake dust and the associated heavy cleaning required?
gc8-r Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 i'd say they were easy to clean compared to p/coated wheels,no heavy cleaning involved because the laquar acts as a barrier,just spray off with jet wash and job done... then you can put on some stuff like autoglym extra gloss protection or what you use for polishing your car... it will give the same effect as your panels, water will just bead straight off them...
badbaz Posted June 11, 2009 Author Posted June 11, 2009 And that leads onto the next question! Who knows where to get wheels painted, a good job for a fair price. Gotta be nearish to Lanarkshire. Preferably with wheels to prove it!!
paulcoleman Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 For the OP I'd go with Yellow or White, in that order of preference.
