hey guys its been a while!--refinishing my wheels
getting tired of the look i've had for a few years, but dont feel like droppin a couple G's on new wheels (even with my hookup), and mesh is my fav style anyways, so i'm gonna refinish these completely.
I'm going with a color called "blue raspberry" on the lips. it's a candy/anodized looking powdercoat, similar in color to my car, yet different. the centers will be in either a semi-flat or gloss gunmetal (leaning more towards semi-flat)
I began disassembling last week, and now have them all pulled apart and in for powder as of yesterday. Some may not like the look, but I believe it will give it an agressive new look, and it's definitely gonna be different than most anything else.
Here is a quick photoshop.
here is kinda an idea of the color (well, similar)
and a picture of what the lips SHOULD look similar to (color will be a bit darker)
here is a pic of the wheels pulled apart.
The guys at Class Act PP are going to blast the wheels down, then lay a chrome powder over the lip and barrel, then the blue raspberry powder over top of that to give it the anodized look.
The faces will be done in a semi-flat gunmetal. I decided on semi-flat because a high-gloss lip mixed with a high-gloss center would just look too cheap IMO, and the flat colored face will make the lip pop out even more.
