Title: Alloy Wheels Paint
Post by: jpimpao on July 07, 2007, 01:28:18 AM

Hi,
I have got a set of Cromodora Berttone alloys, they have been sent to a company to be sand blasted as they have a lot of coats of paint and I was wondering what colour would look better in my 126 Racing Red. my car looks original and probably would be better to have them grey.
Any help.
Thanks

i would stick them in either a very light silver or to be really bold in the same tone of gold paint as the chromadoras on old ferraris then they will look spanking. if not go down daves route and go for flourecent yellow!!

little bit of advice , get only one done in the silver you want and then if happy go ahead with the rest . are you going to uxbridge jorge?

may be a little late getting my two peneth in but Id get them powder coated if you can, painting works well with steel wheels but powder looks better/lasts much longer on alloy....
