Im looking to paint my gunmetal 18's"chipping" and having a hard time choosing a color "besides black"

Anyone have a Silver SS\SC with rims painted a differant color beside black??
If so can you post a picture.

My Balt is Silver with black\red inside "inlay seats"

Thanks forum in Advance

 

pink FTW

 

silver on silver ftw!

 

blk................

 

No I will pass on the Pink

I was thinking on Polishing them instead of paint but it would be a lot of work.

But Silver might be my best bet.
If thats the case id probably go with the paint code silver on my balt now.

 

have them sandblasted and cleared, they will be shiny as hell

 

i also have a silver ss/sc and i was thinking of doing mine like a bronze color. i think that would look good but i cant find a nice shade of bronze to do it in.

 

Bump!

I would like to paint mine also, but cant decide on whether to try to find another gunmetal code or go with silver.

Would sanding them with like 1000 let the new paint and clearcoat stick? or is more work really involved?

 

black!!!

 

cant do black man, makes the car look like its riding on donuts, im sorry,

Maybe on a blacl car it would look good, just nt my thing, esp for a silver car

 

i have a picture of my buddies silver balt with black stock 18's and blue calipers

 

do em like mine....

 

why would someone put their car that close to a boat ramp? Not to mention a FWD car lol and btw i still think the black rims look cheap

 

man i cant believe they let this guy back on the site, he never has any positive **** to say about cobalts.

 

why did you even come into this thread, We silver SS owners are looking for suggestions on wheel colors OTHER than black, read the first post and delete the pictures of your car from this thread b.c they dont help us.

So you mean my 3k+ posts are ignorant? I only post negative **** when i see it, Suprisingly you may see me giving some good advice or compliments once and a while. This site is now infested with 16 and 17 year olds blowing up their cars and telling people that a 2.8 pulley is going to blow thier **** up, along with regular cobalts that are butt ass ugly trying to make their car look like an SS.

 

zap.

 

Black FTMFW!

I've always painted my stock rims black on all my cars. I wanna do it to the Cobalt now.

This is the only pic I have though... my 1998 Eclipse (My first car)

before:



after

 

I would try maybe a red close to the red interior. But don't do the entire rim that color. Do like the spokes red, and the rest a silver to match the car. *shrug* Or hell, do black spokes and red the rest. Maybe that helps ya out.

 

Colormatch them and maybe do a black inlay(basicallly round the edge of the wheel and the sides of the spokes

If not that then gun metal.

 

Bronze would definitly be something different, I was thinking about that myself

This is a nice color, looks like a darker gunmetal than our stock rims, not to mention a GREAT write up!

 

dude im so happy you are banned, all you do is start crap. thanks for the neg rep!

 

I have always thought bronze would look really good with silver . My Rota's are gunmetal , but it s more of bronze'ish tint gunmetal , than a true gunmetal . I like the contrast ALOT .

Here's the best pick I have to show the color of the wheels , to bad there covered in brake dust .

 

i think u should go red on the outside of the rim and paint the inner black i think that would look sick

 

Black rims look like crap IMO

why do you think GM made them a dark grey? so it doesnt blend in with the tire!!!!!!!!! you might as well run around with steelies!
