Since new wheels are far away, painting the stocks. Color?

Post by Corifto »

So I'm probably going to paint the stock wheels on the TW, but stuck with color ideas. I'm thinking black or gold, but can't make up my mind, and would be open to other colors.

I've always liked gun metal since they're darker, but have some metal flake in the color.

They'll be getting a rattle job, I'll see what I can find. I do have some spare metallic green engine paint..........lol. But no, I'm also a fan of gunmetal.

What do you want, agressive black, rally gold, colorful crayon box? It all depends on what you want it to fell like in my opinion.

Problem with plastidip is you're fairly limited in spray cans, so it gets kinda pricey if you don't do blue/red/black/white, I guess unless you wanna brush it on...
