February 11, 200422 yr got bored today so i grabbed my Candy Apple Red spray paint i had for my car model and painted my taillights, now tomarrow im going to ether repaint my rims the stock white, or a metallic silver, again, to be different. what do you guys think, white or metallic silver for the rims? Shean
February 11, 200422 yr Author thats funny i did this in about 30 minutes, went to the DOL to turn in my lisnece since its revoked, went to about 6 places to get a job, and then came home, had dinner, rented a movie, had my girlfriend go home, and now im on here. this is pretty much every day, work on car, girlfriend comes over, we go looking for jobs, we come back, rent movies, she goes home, i get on USMB. oh well, i got no life.
February 11, 200422 yr paint them gunmetal. really popular with the new import scene, but would look really nice with candy apple red.
February 11, 200422 yr Author Har Har Har, very funny. i dont like amber lights, they dont match smoothly for how i like it.
February 11, 200422 yr Author well i was thinking that if i painted the car another color, i dunno if black would look so good, but if someone can post of pictures of black rims on a wagon that would help. im probally gonna just go with the metallic silver. this is whatmy rims on my 78 C10 look like after i painted them.
February 11, 200422 yr I vote for black. Here's a pic of my EA81 Wagon with Gloss Black wagon wheels: -Brian
February 11, 200422 yr Tail lights look great, thats so funny that it actually worked and looks good. I'd do stock white rims! If you modify/lift then I'd consider Black! My .02 Glenn 82 Hatch, always had white until I converted it to a buggy-black! 01 Forester, stock silver rims.
February 11, 200422 yr Author i dunno, i might just redo them white until i get my new wheels, then paint them black and polish the lip. Sweet82, ya alot of old tymers and new up and comming guys with their muscle cars are doing this, they are using just plain red paint, but the problem is that most of it wont stick to the plastic for a long time, so i just went and get some model car paint and used it, worked great on my camaro, same with my subaru. Shean
February 11, 200422 yr You might consider using some of that imitation chrome stuff that is meant to be sprayed on scratched bumpers, etc... Here's Roxanne with "fake-chromed" wheels. This is after fading for two years, and I think they would get a lot shinier with a few more coats of the stuff.
February 11, 200422 yr Author snowman, i cant really tell, but im settled on keeping it a stock color for now.
February 11, 200422 yr ooh ooh ooh get some of that gold spray paint they sell at autozone for car trim and wheels, and BAM instant ghetto bling! no j/k on a side note one time I picked up a can of that stuff and painted all the trim on my roommate's beater volvo as a joke. he gets home and realizes he has a gold grill, wheels and door handles. You should have seen the look on his face! he wasn't mad though, this is the same car that was totalled by his insur co and he kicks the body panels when he is having a hard day. he does still drive it though.... sorry for the hijack, it is real sloooow at work today.
February 11, 200422 yr F.Y.I. hey If anyone wants to paint their taillights, I HIGHLY suggest using the Krylon staind glass spraypaint.....It comes in a smaller can and allows light to shine through.../more safe than painting:rolleyes: looks exactly stock if you spray tailights, corners, etc... comes in red,yellow, blue, green
February 11, 200422 yr Author i would have, but its for plastic, nothing else, thatswhy and it looks kinda like its stock, when the lights come on it looks like it should be red instead of amber.

February 11, 200422 yr whats all that GREEN stuff growing in the background?!?! i got plenty of spare snow laying around to cover that crap up with just let me know how much you need! the lights look mint.
February 12, 200422 yr There's a buddy of mine who is on the board (his name is 89urabus) that painted his wagon wheels he has on his 89 sedan, graphite color. It looks very nice. He's had many questions on "where he got those aftermarket rims"....lol, aftermarket......riiiiiight;)
February 12, 200422 yr Author well im not gonna paint these probally since i picked up a set of Enkei 13's tonight and are gettin put on tomarrow at school. Shean
