im thinking of spraying my original sport wheels red. bright red at that.

would this be possible to do myself?

sand
prime
spray
(correct me if im wrong)

also if possible if someone could photo shop the standard ones in red on a NHB please?
i dont' have any pics of my car on this computer otherwise would have uploaded...

thanks a bunch guys, im totally open to your thoughts as well so please fire away!

Yup, sand the whole wheel down. Spray a layer or two of primer to ensure an even coating.

Take your time with it, make sure every layer is perfectly dry before you spray the next layer for best results. Then you will probably want to spray a layer of laquer on after youve primed and painted them.

will take alot more than a layer or two of laquer or everytime brake dust gets on them it will eat into your paint

[G4VVU]

As said, take your time and be patient. With painting, preparation is the key so if you don't get it perfect at sanding/priming stage the final finish will be poor!

Good luck and get some pictures up when you're done

What i found out is that

You spend so many hours and about 80 quids worth of rattle cans from halfrauds, you could be using that money to purchase different mods, or a bit of income to a new nicer set of wheels

That's why i returned them and bought new wheels

[Aman]

well being a student money is hard to come by and i think a nice set of red wheels would really set me a part from the rest

any chance of a photoshop so i can get a rough idea?

also if anyone has the time could i get a photoshop of the red wheels with a black outline?

thankyouu

Well.....personally thats a very lary red You would have to be brave to have those wheels that red. So I say go for it! Try to get a red as close to the Honda Milano red as possible, would go well. Try to get some other red mods to go with it (Front and rear red H badges, etc) plus a replica CTR spoiler. Rekon it would work nicely

Yeah, the red doesnt come much redder than that, unless u fancy fitting LED strips to your alloys
