Painted my OEM wheels this weekend...

So I wanted a different look for my 8 and I had thought of going black on my wheels but I dont think that look is all that great, dont get me wrong it looks good on certain applications. I wanted Gunmetal color but Gunmetal is a very vague color, However after doing lots of searching I decided on a color.
I went with Toyota/Lexus paint code 1G3-Magnetic grey. Pics... |
Looks nice!
|
Looks good! Should match your car nicely
|
Looks nice! Did you paint it yourself inside the paint booth?
|
Now that's a proper way to redo colors for wheels. The color looks great. very even spray job with a lot of depth in the paint.
Finally something premium with OEM quality, not some turd spray can or plastidip action. |

Please take pix with them on your car :)

It will be a little while, I am making sure they are good and cured before installing my new tires. I will post pics after installation though.

wow those are nice.
someone in town was selling a used set that were painted a bit darker, but they seemed to have a flat finish...nice in some ways, but cleaning wouldn't have been fun... i'm always disappointed with the finish "inside" the wheels...great to see that done. mauro |
Pictues!

I just got the tires mounted and balanced. I painted the calipers black. I just got the wheels put on and had to put it outside to take pictures. I have the biggest grin on my face. I absolutely love the look of the car now!
Okay, I'll shut up now... |
Now drop it!!! lol

I need to get a few side paint or detail jobs to pay for that lump! |
basics are discontinued, replaced with the basis and cheaper than that 700 price you listed.

Looks good, at least you did it the proper way.

I like that color. Gotta paint my car that actually looksclose to a color I want
|
Any one know the cost or an estimate on how much it costs to get them painted?
|
Looks good. I'm looking to paint my wheels, as well. My RX8's black. I was debating between FLAT BLACK/GUNMETAL, or going stupid crazy and doing them NEON GREEN. Any input?
