Cyclone Refurb - MRiches - 15-06-2013 So most of the alloys on this car are actually in pretty bad shape, bubbles, peeling paint etc. Worst of it can't be seen but i've decided they need re doing. Problem is my dad insists that if I was to paint them any other colour than what they are (silver) then if I curb them the old paint will show through and would look shit... Apparently. I dont agree. I reckon a white would go well with this, I think if I went black it would be too much black, can you have too much black? Opinions on colour. My main question is how do I get the best finish from a re spray and would the old silver come through if I curbed them? (Can someone move this to the "interior, exterior thread" my bad) RE: Cyclone Refurb - Grant - 15-06-2013 If you have the reaction from the magnesium in the wheels (what i presume you are referring to as bubbling) then you need to remove it all before re-painting. It will only come back/cause reactions with the new paint. Of course, if you do not remove all the silver paint then it will be seen if kerbed, but then due to the fact that the metal is silver anyway, any kerbing will show silver, regardless of its origin. Be-it the paint or the actual wheel itself. Personally I am not a fan of black cyclones, get a nice silver and just freshen them up I think it will be a little too much black going on on your car otherwise. But that's just my opinion RE: Cyclone Refurb - Piggy - 15-06-2013 powdercoated white or painted anthracite is my opinion. not black RE: Cyclone Refurb - Luhoer - 15-06-2013 can't have too much black IMO RE: Cyclone Refurb - DazzaHDI - 15-06-2013 Powder coated white with a black lion! <3 That's what I want when I have the funds
