To paint? or not to Paint? that is the question

[Barge]

These are the wheels that shall be housing my beefy RT-615's.

Unless I can be convinced otherwise they shall be undergoing the duplicolor wheel paint treatment soon to the graphite color.

d0000 eeeeet!

My vote is for leaving them like that. Do you have a comparison pic or photoshop with the graphite color?

 

[Barge]

No, no photoshop. The graphite would be like a dark semi-metallic. Really dark grey or something along those lines.

 

[B.Brattina]

Do it-- I think Subaru's always look better with a graphite color-- or gold especially with your color

 

[TUFTOUR]

My vote is to leave them alone...

 

[Barge]

There's a pic I found of the graphite color.

 

[Tourige]

That is WAY to dark IMO.

 

[I-Dom-In-8]

I say leave it as is

 

[Pre98]

Do what you want to. Why not Powdercoat them? I think either way would look pretty sweet.

:drool:X's 10000000......hott either way!
edit:The sideskirts are in desperate need of painting thought...other than that pure sex

I've not been convinced yet that powdercoating will not weaken the wheel or alter it's structural properties because of the heat involved.

 

[EuroTour]

Hot pink, like your old butt buddy.

my vote goes for leaving them as is

The heat involved in powder coating is 425 degrees until the powder goes liquid and then down to 400 degrees for another 20-25 minutes to set the powder. I don't think at those temps it would change the structural integrity of the metal. But then again I'm not an alchemist.
