ok, ive got my turbines back from the blasters but for the life of me cannot decide on a colour sceme:scratch: im looking at a 2tone sceme like what mr5 (http://www.rtoc.org/boards/album.php?albumid=107&pictureid=846) has done with his:cool:

bare in mind my car is white.

so my request is that, could someone with photoshop knock up a few pics of turbines in a few different 2tone colours?

sorry i cant find any clear shots of turbines.

I went through this process with a friend doing lots of combinations for me for my spare set of speedlines and I'm still pondering really but with the car being white they are now sanded ready to be sprayed anthracite. The rims have been taken back to bare metal and I was going to get them up to a high polish but decided I liked a brushed finish that looks almost white.

My pennies worth.

ok, i think its going to have to be the orange rim/matt black face combo:agree:

now for the next question.....

regarding the painting process,
you obviously have to apply primer..
then the paint.. what type of paint is best used on wheels as they get a hard time with brake dust/road salt etc..??

and regard the MATT black paint? do you laquer over the matt black paint or leave it? as i dont like the idea of just leaving it as im assuming ill have to be touching them up all the time.?

painters where you at.?:)
