Thinking about spray painting my R32 rims for shits and giggles this Saturday... what do you guys think?

I'm thinking going black, then spraying a chrome paint around the edges to give it a similar effect to this;

So you've got the chrome on the outside and black on the inside.

I was also thinking about spraying it white..

What do you guys think?

I think not...

im assuming your car is white yeah.. in which case Id go a metallic charcoal buffed to a mirror sheen, probably without chrome lip but could work with..

if you insist on chrome strip and its just for shits n giggles do the metalcast blue....for sexeeeeee appeal.....

taping up a finish line from the chrome to black would be a major pain in the ass , probably better off to go with a full colour , gloss probably. gold or back for a white car

+1

I had the same idea with my 32 stockies and it was near impossible to tape up a perfect circle for a chrome lip

so i ended up spraying them completely black.

paint it.....why not there stockies and it cost under $50, just recruit one of your mates to help you like i did and the proccess is easy and the ending result could shock you.....my BLACK stokies came out okay for first try if i was to do it again it should come out better. I also helped my uncle paint his ford rims in time for his weeding and they came out even better.

I painted my rims black too. Results are great although mines starting to have hints of white showing cos i didn really do layers,,, jsut did it till it looked good. But its defs worth doing. Cost me 15 bucks, if theres any issues i can jsut do it again for 15.

    • First time visitor and currently getting ready to start work on my HK Premier.  Its all stock, 186 with 3 on the tree.  The only mod i have right now is extractors.  I am hoping to get some guidance on slightly modifying the engine to bring a little more power. Just going for a nice, comfortable cruiser.  The car is very straight, however i have been out of the country for 20 years and its been gathering dust at a family farm.  Will be doing quite a bit of body work to cut out some small rust areas (frnt quarter panels and a few other small bits) and fix up the paint.  Will be redoing the interior (its currently black and the seats are in real need of recovering and respringing the driver side (its front bench seat).  The dash needs a little TLC, but no real damage.  As my heater has degraded I am considering fitting something after-market that will be both heater/AC (recommendations here are always welcome). Wanting something discrete that will allow me to use the same controls and not be obvious once inside the car.   For the engine, i have been told i could consider upgrading my cam (imagine i would need a new head as well) and putting a new carby (currently the original stromberg).  However not sure what is going to be the best route.  Would certainly welcome any comments/suggestions.  As  a final step I am looking at changing the wheels. Current hubcaps are in dire need of refurbishment or replacement (imagine its a bit like hens teeth).  Thinking of some clean/classic looking mags (7-inch should be more than enough - not going for a large change in look).  Welcome any comments/advice and of course any questions. 
    • I got the ARC M079 due to the space constraint.  Been running mint for the last 3 years.  Plazmaman also seems like a really solid choice but not used myself.    Hunt around for a better price but this is what I have - https://www.rhdjapan.com/arc-brazing-intercooler-smic-m079-bnr32.html
    • Wanted to follow up on this. Did you end up getting the M073? Still deciding on what to get between nismo m073-79 and plazaman.  
    • I was just watching these boys up in QLD AWD'ing their S13 too.  
    • Por que no los dos? At least my euro brawler is reliable - unlike the JDMs I've had. Sheraaz you look familiar, did you ever come to an SAU VIC meet aaaaaages ago?
